Hi Mike, I've just had the 'pleasure' to deal with the limitations of Flash 7 on Linux, so I would say I'm quite interested in version 9 coming out as soon as possible. That's why this might sound off topic.
I also think Ralf's suggestion about parallel versions for libstdc++.so.5 and libstdc++.so.6 is the best; it's fairly easy to have two versions of gcc installed on the Linux build machine, and then use something like g++-3.3 for libstdc++.so.5 and g++-4.0 (or 3.4) for version 6. That sounds a *LOT* easier than all the hacks you mention in your blog. Also, compared to the obscure problems in the approach you've chosen outlined by Ralf and Johan Petersson's article, Flash 7's problems on Linux (use of the OSS API, videos on youtube exhibiting sync problems between audio and video, alleged instability and memory leaks caused to Firefox) look negligible. Just my two cents, Stefan. On 9/26/06, Ralf Wildenhues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I would think building two different plugins, one for version 5 and one for version 6 is a safer bet.
