I'll second that motion. Many thanks for making a usable flash plugin a
reality. I also had to perform the above copy, so the above info helped
me. I don't necessarily like sites that try to force flash upon people,
but at the same time it's a pain to be among the flash impaired. I ended
up switching from FreeBSD back to Linux for a while due to the lack of a
stable flash plugin.
Anyway, for reference this is what I have on my box which appears to be
working well so far:
FreeBSD: RELENG_7
Firefox: native firefox-3.0.4,1
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
On my previous FreeBSD install I was also having problems with acroread.
It would segfault every time I tried to start it. With the above it's
also working well. I did have a minor problem with the above setup and
one of acroread8's dependencies, linux-nvu. It wanted libgobject-2.0.so.0
from devel/linux-glib2 under ${LINUXBASE}/usr/lib/.
emulators/linux_base-f8 installed libgobject-2.0.so.0 at
${LINUXBASE}/lib/. I tried changing the dependency line in the linux-nvu
port's Makefile accordingly but it kept trying to pull in linux-glib2 as a
dependency. The install of linux-glib2 would fail as it has some file
conflicts with linux_base-f8. I finally just removed the dependency line
for libgobject-2.0.so.0 from linux-nvu all together, since I knew the
library was installed and available, and all appears well.
