Could you please have a look at them and give me some feedback? Is there something important missing or incorrect? I'm 'only' using konqueror and firefox on FreBSD 5.2.1 - any special tricks for the other browsers? Are there other differences then the libmap.conf(5) setup between 4.x and 5.x? thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 15.2.3 Linuxpluginwrapper enables Flash6 support for Konqueror and Mozilla As an alternative to the www/flashpluginwrapper port which installs the Linux Flash5 plugin as dependency, you may install www/linuxpluginwrapper which depends on www/linux-flashplugin6 and print/acroread. Note: Linuxpluginwrapper requires Linux compatibility to be enabled. Note: You cannot have installed www/flashpluginwrapper and www/linuxpluginwrapper at the same time. Mozilla users who had previously installed www/flashpluginwrapper need to remove LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libflashplayer.so.1 export LD_PRELOAD from their browser startup scripts. Note: To use Flash6 with Konqueror you need either FreeBSD 4.x from February 5th 2004 or newer (4.9-RELEASE and prior releases do NOT work) or FreeBSD 5.1 or newer. After having installed the www/linuxpluginwrapper port you need to set up libmap.conf (5). The required configuration depends on whether you are running FreeBSD 4.x or 5.x. To enable Flash for Konqueror and for Mozilla and other gecko based web browsers on a 5.x system, /etc/libmap.conf should include the following lines # Flash6 with Konqueror [/opt/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so] libpthread.so.0 pluginwrapper/flash6.so libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so libz.so.1 libz.so.2 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++.so.4 libm.so.6 libm.so.2 libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so # Flash6 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany [/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so] libpthread.so.0 pluginwrapper/flash6.so libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so libz.so.1 libz.so.2 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++.so.4 libm.so.6 libm.so.2 libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so To create a sample configuration to start with you can do # cd /var/db/pkg && pkg_info -D linuxpluginwrapper* > /etc/libmap.conf Konqueror expects plugins to reside in /opt/mozilla/plugins/ by default. You can either copy libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt from /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/ to /opt/mozilla/plugins/ or you may configure Konqueror to look for plugins in /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/ and adjust /etc/libmap.conf accordingly. Have a look at the Konqueror & Flash HowTo at freebsd.kde.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 15.2.4 Plugger enables additional plugins for Mozilla The www/plugger port provides a multimedia plugin for Mozilla that handles various audio, video and document formats. plugger(7) is a small plugin, which uses external programs to show or play the different formats. For instance, you may choose to install the www/mplayer-plugin port to play various audio and video formats. By default, this port uses www/mozilla for gecko support. You can change this by defining WITH_MOZILLA as ``firefox'', ``mozilla-devel'', ``mozilla-gtk1'' or `` mozilla-devel-gtk1'' at build time. www/mplayer-plugin depends on multimedia/mplayer which gets installed automatically if necessary. If you decide to build and install it seperately, you can make use of its build options. Have a look at Section 16.4.2.1 and /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer/Makefile. Check the Plugger homepage for a detailed list of supported file formats and the required helper applications. Additionally, there are testing grounds to see your new plugins in action. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-mozilla@FreeBSD.ORG Fri May 7 14:37:52 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8F3DB16A4D0 for ; Fri, 7 May 2004 14:37:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail1.panix.com (mail1.panix.com [166.84.1.72]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3BB8C43D1D for ; Fri, 7 May 2004 14:37:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from fj@panix.com) Received: from panix5.panix.com (panix5.panix.com [166.84.1.5]) by mail1.panix.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 52CBE48A95; Fri, 7 May 2004 17:37:51 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from fj@localhost) by panix5.panix.com (8.11.6p2-a/8.8.8/PanixN1.1) id i47Lbpr05089; Fri, 7 May 2004 17:37:51 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 7 May 2004 17:37:51 -0400 From: Joe Altman To: platanthera Message-ID: <20040507213751.GA3536@panix.com> Mail-Followup-To: Joe Altman , platanthera , freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org References: <200405072325.11491.platanthera@web.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <200405072325.11491.platanthera@web.de> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i cc: freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org Subject: Re: proposal for handbook update - please review X-BeenThere: freebsd-mozilla@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mozilla browser issues List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 07 May 2004 21:37:52 -0000 http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/index.html has instructions on how to submit documentation to the project.
