After fresh cvsup of ports tree today. I portsupgraded linux-flashplugin to version: linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_1. After restarting linux-opera, flash no longer works. The version of linux-flashplugin that I had working successfully was: linux-flashplugin-6.0r79. My version of linux-opera is: linux-opera-7.23.20031119 This is the procedure I did prior to running portupgrade: 1) You will need to tweak the Makefile, which it was designed for Mozilla. # cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6 # vi Makefile Change from... code: PLUGINSDIR=lib/linux-mozilla/plugins to... code: USE_X_PREFIX=yes PLUGINSDIR=share/opera/plugins Save and exit it. # portupgrade -R linux-flashplugin-6.0r79 This finished successfully. 2) Close Opera and run it again. After linux-opera restart, I then browsed to: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ Flash animation does not load. Fix: Don't know How-To-Repeat: See above

My version of linux-opera is: > linux-opera-7.23.20031119 Stacey, Thank you for exposing a problem in my port Makefile. It appears I have run up against a known bug in pmake. From the BUGS section of make(1): For loops are expanded before tests, so a fragment such as: .for TMACHINE in ${SHARED_ARCHS} .if ${TMACHINE} = ${MACHINE} ... .endif .endfor won't work, and should be rewritten the other way around. I was making use of this construct in my Makefile and due to some cruft on the system I tested the port on, I didn't notice that this was failing. I will be back shortly with a patch that fixes this. BTW, there is no need to modify the Makefile everytime you cvsup to use this with linux-opera. You can define USE_X_PREFIX and PLUGINSDIR on the make command line, via portupgrade's -m option or in pkgtools.conf's MAKE_ARGS section. HTH, Brandon D.

Actually, you can't do the define PLUGINSDIR because there's no "?" in it. PLUGINSDIR?= Cheers, Mezz -- bsdforums.org 's moderator, mezz.
Stacey, In the meantime you can install the port normally and make symlinks to /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/* in /usr/X11R6/share/opera/plugins and you will be able to use the plugin. What is happening is that the symlinks are not getting created properly. The plugin itself should be installed. HTH, Brandon D.

I will include that change in the patch I am working on. The problem I'm running into is I don't seem to get variable expansion to work inside my conditional. This works: .for f in ${LIBFILES} @${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/${f} ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-flashplugin6 .if exists(/usr/local/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins) echo "Hi! I'm inside the if statement!" @${LN} -sf ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-flashplugin6/${f} ${PREFIX}/${PLUGINSDIR} .endif .endfor This doesn't: .for f in ${LIBFILES} @${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/${f} ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-flashplugin6 .if exists(${PREFIX}/${PLUGINSDIR}) echo "Hi! I'm inside the if statement!" @${LN} -sf ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-flashplugin6/${f} ${PREFIX}/${PLUGINSDIR} .endif .endfor And I'm not sure why it doesn't work. At any rate, I have a solution and with a bit more testing I'll submit a new patch. Sorry for the inconvenience, Brandon D.

This is not it, this is not it at all. To be honest I'm very confused by the behavior I am seeing out of make. It refuses to expand variables inside exists statements at all. I have just put this in my port Makefile with the declarations, not inside of a target: .if exists(${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins) PLUGINSDIR?= ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins .elif exists(${X11BASE}/lib/linux-opera/plugins) PLUGINSDIR?= ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins .endif If I execute 'make -VPLUGINSDIR' I get nothing. If I change it to read like this: .if exists(/usr/local/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins) PLUGINSDIR?= ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins .elif exists(${X11BASE}/lib/linux-opera/plugins) PLUGINSDIR?= ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins .endif Then 'make -VPLUGINSDIR' spits out: /usr/local/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins Anybody out there reading know why make would fail to expand PREFIX there?

Maybe, it's a bug or just a missing feature. Cheers, Mezz > Sorry for the inconvenience, > > Brandon D. Valentine -- bsdforums.org 's moderator, mezz.

Stacey, if you've installed your patched version of the port than the plugin is probably in /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6. You set USE_X_PREFIX. HTH, Brandon D.

I will take care of this sometime in the next week and well ahead of the ports freeze. I have been ill for several weeks now, and won't get into the personal details of that, but it has kept me from paying much attention at all to FreeBSD. Thanks, Brandon D.

I didn't know you were ill - but I did feel it necessary to "nudge", given the upcoming freeze, hope you didn't mind too much. Looking forward to hearing of a fix as and when you are able. Take care.

Hello guys, May I close this PR? It's a good news for all of us! ;-) Now, the new version of linux-opera has the ability of find flash by itself without have to put in its own plugin folder. It finally work with flash plugin, so it should give you (Brandon) the less headache for not need to hack on your linux-flashplugin6 port. I will be able to commit the update of linux-opera by tonight or tomorrow when my mentor, adamw, gives me the approve. Cheers, Mezz -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org bsdforums.org 's moderator, mezz.
State Changed From-To: open->closed This is fixed in the update of linux-opera (7.50.20040511).
