flashplayer plugin on firefox

[ivan.roth at free.fr]

You will find the help you need there (search for "flash" in the pages, look at
the first occurence) :

http://forum.hardware.fr/hardwarefr/OSAlternatifs/Topic-FreeBSD-FreeBSD-released-sujet-53327-1.htm

short translation from french to english:

Macromedia does not give any flash plugin for FreeBSD. You need to use the linux
plugin. This method should work with Opera and Firefox.

First install linux-flashplugin6 (in /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6).
Second, install linuxpluginwrapper (NOT flashpluginwrapper...)
Then copy /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD6 to
/etc/libmap.conf (and edit as you want)

then cd ........ and the two ln :)

Note that flash 7 seems to be known as buggy. I installed flash 6 with that
method yesterday, and it works perfectly on firefox 1.0.7 and FreeBSD
6.0-RELEASE.

Do not forget to link the files!

Regards.


Hope this is correct for you, and hope that was clear :)
