Hi! The good news is I have been able to play a few youtube vids using flash10 on RELENG_7/amd64 in native ff3 using nspluginwrapper 1.1.2. The bad news is there is still quite some work to be done to get this into shape for ports... The following is a description of what I've done to get it running, maybe someone else can go from there and make proper ports before I get to it: 1. I built nspluginwrapper 1.1.2 similar to the exiting 1.0.0 version in ports, only I didnt find a suitable rpm for the i386/linux bits, so I built those on linux myself (debian sid since thats what I have, also they need to be configured with --enable-generic there to use `normal' AF_UNIX socket paths, FreeBSD doesn't have the way its otherwise doing it on linux, or the wrapper ipc wouldnt work.) I'll attach the linux bits I built myself, the go into /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux . [not in this resend, you can get them from the original mail: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/flash10hack.mbox.txt ] 2. Next I had to chase missing libs: First, flash10 needs libcurl now, it first looks for libcurl.so.4, then when it doesn't find that it looks for libcurl.so.3 and libcurl-gnutls.so.3 - libcurl.so.3 is in ports as ftp/linux-curl, but I didn't find an fc4 rpm for libcurl-gnutls.so.3 (also it seems fc4 is eol'd now and you don't really want security holes in libs you use in your browser...), so I set compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in sysctl.conf, OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f7 in make.conf, installed linux_base-f7 and then unpacked the f7 curl rpm and dependencies using rpm2cpio piped to tar xfv - ... http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/curl-7.16.2-1.fc7.i386.rpm http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/libidn-0.6.8-4.i386.rpm http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/e2fsprogs-libs-1.39-11.i386.rpm http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/openssl-0.9.8b-12.fc7.i386.rpm (Actually I now see I probably should have used http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/7/i386/curl-7.16.4-1.fc7.i386.rpm etc, sorry will have to test that later.) Anywy, since the libflashsupport.so I used from the flash9 port links to libssl.so.5 (you can check by doing /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /compat/linux/usr/lib/libflashsupport.so - yes sometimes also the FreeBSD ldd works for linux libs, but not always), I ended up keeping the fc4 openssl (security/linux-openssl) that was installed by the flash9 port and only unpacking libssl.so.0.9.8b libssl.so.6 libcrypto.so.0.9.8b libcrypto.so.6 from the above f7 openssl rpm into /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux instead of /compat/linux/lib - there's certainly room for improvement there... (like building both libflashsupport and the nspluginwrapper i386/linux bits on an updated f7?) Also, flash10 links a bunch of libs from linux ff, namely: libnspr4.so libnss3.so libplc4.so libplds4.so libsmime3.so libsoftokn3.so libssl3.so - I just symlinked those from /usr/local/lib/linux-firefox (obviously it needs to be installed too) into /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux . Ok and now something more general for the emulation folks: Now that fc4 seems to be eol'd, what do we do to get updated linux-{curl,openssl} etc ports from f7 (or f8?) for the folks that _can_ use them? (like, RELENG_7 and above.) Its not only that they are useful for flash10, its also because of security updates... (No I haven't actually checked if there _were_ advisories for one of these since fc4, its just not really unlikely. :) Thanx, Juergen
