Hi! I tried to port netscape plugin for freebsd, but the netscape doesn't recognize it - I think that's because of the different executable formats. Since my netscape-navigator-4.-something was pre-compiled, I cannot find out what compiler and linker options were used for creating its own plugins. However, I found that some plugins are already available in the ports collection, but they are pre-compiled also. So my question is: does anybody know how to compile the damn thing correctly? Or, maybe, you know the right person to contact? One version is that everything compiled with a-out ( on 2.2.7 freebsd, for example), do not require some special options. But I'm using 4.1-stable, and my gcc seems incapable of compiling shared libraries in a-out format. I read somewhere in the docs that freebsd's future is to remove eventually a-out support from the kernel. Aren't these the first steps? If not, I would like to comment that it might be considered as a bug ( feature?) that crt0.o required for the creation of shared object is not present in the installation tree - and the 'make buildworld' doesn't make one. -- Sincerely, Dmitry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
