From the site:

I will pay $200 to whoever can compose a working and stable recipe for
running Adobe Flash 9 inside of the FreeBSD native version of Opera 9
on FreeBSD 6.x. This shouldn't be that hard - in fact, there is
already a linux-flashplugin9 port.
---snip---
Comments from other people with some more money not included here...
And now the sad reality check: linux-flashplugin9 will _never_ work on
6.x (lack of linux 2.6 emulation, and this is not a MFC candidate).
Getting it to work on 7.x is possible. "All what you need" is
nspluginwrapper to get it running in the native
firefox/opera/whatever, and someone who is willing to debug the
linuxulator (on -current, as there is a more complete 2.6
compatibility there, and this can be MFCed to 7.x) and find the
bug/problem which is causing the crashes. Whoever is willing to tackle
this: head over to emulation@ (CCed) and ask what debugging
possibilities we have in the linuxulator.
I tried to debug the flash9 and failed badly. It might be that I overlooked
something trivial but...
the flash9 is a big binary-only monster and basically the only trace
of what its doing you can get is a syscall-trace. Which is not that much
I think enabling the the linuxulator debug stuff and maybe adding some
more printfs at some places can reveal some more stuff... with some
in-deep reviewing of what happens.
useful. I didnt find any missing syscalls or something like that and the
fail is a complete mystery for me.... otoh I looked at this a LOONG time ago.
Which is in indication that there are some (subtle) differences
between the linuxulator and the real linux we have to track down.
I might want to look at it again (after some other things settle)
anyway... I dont think that flash9 crashes are related to 2.6
emulation in any
way. iirc it runs (and crashes) on 2.4 as well. I remember it crashes in
Hmmm... now I'm not sure anymore, but I thought we had reports that it
runs better with 2.6...
Bye,
Alexander.
