freebsd stable - Oct 2003 - HEADS UP: pelase test /etc/libmap.conf feature on 4-stable

Hi, for Flash Plugin Wrapper user on 4-stable.

	I MFCed /etc/libmap.conf feature written by mdodd for current.
	Please get&patch following URL.
	http://tmp.ninth-nine.com/libmap_4/libmap_4stable.diff

	For new flash6 wrapper, maybe, please set following lines.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
libpthread.so.0			liblthread.so.2
libdl.so.2			pluginwrapper.so
libz.so.1			libz.so.2
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3	liblstdc++.so.3
libm.so.6			libm.so.2
libc.so.6			pluginwrapper.so
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

	Sorry, I checked minimum test.
	I didn't check with mozilla, yet.

Hi,

I tested your patch, and it worked, but I had to modify the following
things:

Fetch libmapc. and libmap.h from the CVS repository (latest revisions).
Add libmap.c to SRC section in Makefile.

After these changes, I was able to compile a ld-elf.so with libmap
support.
> libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3	liblstdc++.so.3
                               ^--- where is this file? I changed it to
                                    libstdc++.so.3, and it worked

I performed some tests with mozilla, and I ended up with exactly the
same results as I pointed out in this email:

http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-mozilla_curr/msg00012.html

Another result is that mozilla locks up after successfully showing almost
any of the flash plugins I tried (I afraid I cannot offer more details on
this issue at the present, but I am investigating it).

Regards,
 Simon

:-)
	Humm..  I think Michael has a misunderstanding.
	This problem isn't installation (pkg-plist, hier(7)), but
	is nspluginscan looking up a (some?) plugin directory as
	${X11BASE}/lib/browser_plugins.  Therefore unbreak hier(7).

	I hope that nspluginscan looks up ${X11BASE}/lib/brower_plugins
	like a /usr/local/netscape/plugins, /opt/mozilla/plugins.
	If this is OK, konqueror will be able to use Linux version
	Flash6 plugin with seamless by flashpluginwrapper and
	/etc/libmap.conf.  Just like FreeBSD native version Flash6
	plugin.

Not on my planet.  linux-mozilla (the native version hasn't
been very compatible with java or other plugins) gets put
in /usr/local/lib

But /usr/X11R6/lib is just as "busted" -- thanks for making my
point for me!

Point (I'll sharpen it) -- ../lib is for *what*?  Libraries?
Putting entire packages and executables in lib directories
is a horrible kludge,  at least as far as my *NIX experience
goes (only back to 1979).
