First. Sorry too late my works.

To make sure, I suggest you contact > nork-san and have his say on this. Side effects which I know. 1. effects of other plugins LD_PRELOAD is reserved. And force unsetenv(LD_PRELOAD) in this. Plugins which use /dev/dsp with FreeBSD native (I know MIDI plugin, Java plugin) are terrible. 2. need to setting for mozilla export LD_PRELOAD=/ANY/WHERE/libflushplugin.so.1 or setenv LD_PRELOAD /ANY/WHERE/libflushplugin.so.1 I think ugly hack:-). 3. I assume that Linux's, FreeBSD's open(2) is same. I don't know how to decision linux flash pluing's open(2) or FreeBSD mozilla's open(2). 4. binary edit? No. Licensing violations. This is confirmed by Inagawa-san. I wanted to replace open to OpEn:-). I hope (as possible as). 1. add files to www/mozilla*. I think no need to make up a port for this hack. Because, If it built in, no need LD_PRELOAD. And I don't know effect to KDE, Poenix and Galeon, etc... 2. More safety? Linux/FreeBSD ioctl(2) auto decision feature I wrote this feature. Please get new version of linux_emu.c. It brings more safety to mozilla. But it is not perfect for OSS ioctl(2). 3. Please debug! :-) I don't say about commit. This hack will become good and merge to mozilla*. Then remove this port! :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
