binaries and libraries.
Add dependencies on the base, gtk2 and x11 Linux modules, which provide
shared libraries needed by npviewer.bin.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 1.
You do not need nspluginwrapper if the ABI of the plugin and browser are the
same, such as running a 32 bit Linux firefox and flash plugin under NetBSD.
No change on other platforms, so skipped PKGREVISION bump. Steve
has already fed the patches back to the author.
Currently the package hardcodes some search paths from /usr/pkg - I have
an sent a question to the author as to how he would best like to handle
those in his framework.
nspluginwrapper is an Open Source compatibility plugin for Netscape
4 (NPAPI) plugins. It separates the execution environment of the
plugin from the browser, allowing a plugin compiled for one ABI to
be used in a browser compiled for another.
For example the linux 32bit Adobe Flash plugin can be used in a
native Firefox under Linux/x86_64, NetBSD and FreeBSD platforms.
To install the Linux flash player into a native Firefox browser:
- Also install multimedia/ns-flash and multimedia/libflashsupport
- Run "nspluginwrapper -i /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so"
- Run Firefox
This is working at least under NetBSD/i386 4.0_BETA with native and modular
x11.
