OK, I'm convinced now that we have no acceptable solution to get a current flash player working under FreeBSD. I have here in the same room with me a Gentoo box, and I see from their package system that there are at least two different paths for getting flash working. One's the Adobe Flash player. Anyone knkow why that won't work under FreeBSD on Linux browser? Second option is either a gpl flash library called GPL flash (not a long stretch for naming, is it?) There are even some tracks to go to get some Adobe soource code. All I want here is hints, if anyone knows that one particular path might be easier for porting than another, or possibly more compatible, or for any reason a better platform for me to take on as a project, I'd really appreciate a hint, because while I can port stuff ok, I've never been all that plugged into the world of web applications, and I probably don't know many things about web apps that you probably consider as obvious. So, I'll take on the porting job if you can just dredge up any hints you have heard, cause i don't want to waste time on running up blind alleys. Thanks. I'll begin porting tomorrow, you have that long.
