I'm trying to get flash up and running with the version of Firefox that I just compiled, and I keep getting the same error over and over:
starlight# make

It's bothering me because I guess I don't know enough about linux compat to get this working. I tried googling for an explination about lthread.3, but to no avail. I *think* I have set up the linux compat properly, but don't know how to test it. This was the first app I tried. Where it says to install the source code in /usr/src for Freebsd is also confusing. Does that mean the source for libgcc? Do I need to make something additional in the ports? Here are the pkg's I have:

Make sure that you have installed the linux emulation layer, /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base. Then install /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6, and add the following to your /etc/libmap.conf.

[code:1:899785142e]
# Flash6 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany
[/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
libpthread.so.0 liblthread.so.3
libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libz.so.1 libz.so.2

libm.so.6 libm.so.2
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
[/code:1:899785142e]

Best of luck.

PS: Make sure that your ports tree is upto date.

[KrUsTy!]

I have the regular linux_base installed, (which used to be linux_base-7), and the linux wrapper installed and works just great. Probably best to remove the linux_base-8 and go with the regular linux_base for now. Not sure that the linux_base-8 port is ready for these apps yet.

I pretty much installed it like soccomm said.

{K}

[hugh nicks]

nothing. i did just what you guys said. uninstalled linux_base -8. installed the normal one. base 7.1_7 to be exact. linux-flashplugin-6.0 as well. i didn't have a libmap.conf file in my etc, so i created one and copied the text in. rebooted. could that be the problem? was i supposed to generate a libmap file somehow?

thanks again,

[socomm]

I don't think rebooting would do much of a difference. My libmap.conf is hand rolled and looks like this :

As far as linux-emu goes I haven't installed anything fancy, the stock linux_base will do. What exactly is the error you get when you run firefox? Does firefox pick up any plugins at all? As far as I recall the /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper is what you may need.

Just some thoughts.

[hugh nicks]

socomm said: don't think rebooting would do much of a difference

i know, i always do it out of frustration, even though i know you don't need to for *nix. it's kinda of my version of serenity now. :) (plus, it keeps me from putting my foot through the monitor)

as far as an error message, if i go to space.com for instance, the main page will load with the message but tell me that i don't have flash, and to go an d/l the plugin. same with the vw.com page.

as for the linuxpluginrapper:

george is gettin' upset......

thanks for all your help.

*i just noticed something at the FreeBSD site. According to the handbook:
Linux binary compatibility is not turned on by default. The easiest way to enable this functionality is to load the linux KLD object (``Kernel LoaDable object''). You can load this module by simply typing linux at the command prompt.

If you would like Linux compatibility to always be enabled, then you should add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:

linux_enable="YES"


which is fine because my etc.rc.conf looks like this:
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Fri Feb 20 00:32:16 2004
# Created: Fri Feb 20 00:32:16 2004
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
defaultrouter="192.168.2.1"
hostname="starlight"
ifconfig_sis0="inet 192.168.2.111 netmask 255.255.255.0"
usbd_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

but if i type "linux" at a command prompt, i get: "command not found"
wtf did i do wrong?

Have you installed system sources under /usr/src?

Looks about right.

Try setting some of following variables to yes.

You can use an experimental patch to reduce the number of
condition variable triggered context switches by defining
WITH_CONDWAIT_PATCH


Some unsafe calls to exit() can be detected by defining
LINUXTHREADS_DETECT_UNSAFE_EXIT, see files/README.FreeBSD
for more info.


Some conflicts with native threads can be avoided by defining
LINUXTHREADS_WRAP_API, see files/README.FreeBSD
for more info.
[/code:1:57cb2e3083]

I really can't help much other than that :).

Good luck.

[hugh nicks]

Thanks socomm, I will try those out. But I'm not sure where to add/enable them properly. I tried putting them in the Make file, but then it complained of a 'missing operator'. I am unfamiliar with how/where to do this. I also tried building mozilla 1.6, and loaded the flash player as per instructions, and it would totally lock up the browser on a flash page. At least with firefox, it would constantly look like it was trying to resolve, and I could at least browse to another page. I did see a post on another board about 1.6 crashing at some sites, and they mentioned workarounds, but it wasn't really about my problem.

I think it might be more of what you suggested, in that I have not enabled something that I should of. thanks again for your help.

-hn

[socomm]

To enable/disable defines simple run `make OPTION_I_LIKE=YES' or `make DISABLE_OPTION=YES', I'm not certain if that will help you out, but give it a shot.

Oh and btw you shouldn't have to modify your mozilla binary, libmap.conf should automatically load flash/java for you.

[hugh nicks]

(This isn't meant for you socomm, you've done enough to help :D ) I'm just posting cause it's still relevant.

maybe something broke or didn't get installed when i first set this up. It just doesn't make sense, because i never had problems setting this up with firebird 0.7 and flash. it was only when i set up RC2, fluxbox, and firefox. the saga continues....

-hn

[hugh nicks]

1. Back-up important files.
2. Re-install RC2, but this time following the freeBSD handbook word for word
3. Set up linux base, fluxbox, xmms, and a few other things through the post-install options.
4. Made Firebird 0.7
5. Followed steps in this thread.
6. Rejoiced.

thanks everyone for help.

Not to dig up old topics, but I was just doing this on a 5.2 machine, and the was getting some errors on loading the plugin, looked around and I found to use this:
