looking at /usr/local/share/pipelight/install-dependency and http://www.adobe.com/de/software/flash/about/ I found that the binaries had been updated. putting in the following changes:

but it still doesn't show up in seamonkey as a working plugin. What am I missing?

I haven't tested the other plugins because I have no use cases for them, but they may need updating too.

Comment 1 Christian Sturm 2017-02-07 11:44:04 UTC

It's actually the script that has a couple of problems.

One is that the Flash URL specified in the script isn't correct, and the checksum isn't either. That's what your changes fix.

The problem you are hitting is this:
    sed: 1: "/Content-Length/{s/.*:  ...": extra characters at the end of p command

This is because the script expect a different version of sed, not FreeBSD's sed. To fix this one would need to use multiple "-e" arguments, so leave the first part, but then a standalone "-e 'p'", instead of "; p" and then the rest.


If someone wants to work on this:

In other words the script in:

/usr/local/share/pipelight/install-dependency

needs a couple of patches. This should preferably be done upstream of course.

It would also make sense to add ca_root_nss as a dependency.

Personally I made it work by looking at the script executing the scripts semi-manually, to see if it works after the effort. It does.

As a hint for other people trying to fix the issue. You need to run the following command, because otherwise it won't rerun the script, but simply fail.

    pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins


Also I think it would make sense to add consistent for fetch, rather than wget. Here it had problems after first using it correctly. But this is optional, when wget is required/installed.

I hope this helped. I am sorry, I don't have a patch to do the necessary fixing.

How I fix This ?

Comment 4 tom 2017-03-22 07:06:03 UTC

(In reply to Carlos Jimenez from comment #3)
You can probably figure it out from the bottom bit of my post, and Christian's reply.

Basically, you need to look at the install-dependency script, then find the correct links & checksums for the plugins that you need. if you have an nvidia graphics card, you need to run the patch-nvidia.sh for wine. then edit install-dependency to correct the links & checksums. as Christian said, there is also a problem with sed, but it didn't seem to affect me too much.

eventually when i have some spare time i'll submit a patch, but don't hold your breath waiting... what we really need is a new maintainer for the port. if i get it working right i might consider taking it over (even though i would prefer to see Flash die a long overdue death)

Sorry for being inpatient 
but i try that and still dont work and some other things

Comment 8 Walter Schwarzenfeld 2018-01-17 13:05:52 UTC

If I understand right it is solved? So we can close?

Comment 9 Christian Sturm 2018-01-20 14:56:41 UTC

I don't think so. What brings you to that assumption? The port was not changed since September.

Comment 10 Tim Preston 2019-03-25 10:53:25 UTC

I attempted to install this, and updated the install-dependency script for the latest version of Silverlight, but mine fails a little more spectacularly:

No recent activity, and the port expired, so removed.
