I didn't use the ports. I just got the tarball,
untarballed it, did a make, make install, which
basically put lib/libflashplayer.so.1
into /usr/local/lib . Then followed the directions
in the info file which entailed
cp /usr/local/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so \
/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer_linux.so
cp /usr/local/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class \
/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/
and putting
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libflashplayer.so.1
export LD_PRELOAD
at the top of the file /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla
just below the shebang
But I guess some more magic is required that the ports
takes care of. I did see in the ports makefile there
is a post patch section so like you say maybe some
patching is required. I was under the understanding
that this program was written specifialy for freebsd,
and thought it would not need patching. Well guess I
will use the port. Thanks for the help.
