The Adobe Flash player plugin can be emulated to run on native browsers. Alternatively, the browser can also be emulated, but this method seems to lack performance.
Contents |
[edit] Linux plugin emulation
Install www/linux-c6-flashplugin11 through ports, since at times the repository package may be outdated:
# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-c6-flashplugin11; make install clean
This should install other linux-c6 dependencies, including www/nspluginwrapper . Follow the directions at the end of installing the programs, most of which will be repeated below in the configuration sections.
Load Linux modules according to Linux, configuration#Loading Linux modules.

linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
/etc/devfs.conf
link /tmp shm
/etc/sysctl.conf

passwd: files nis shadow: files nis group: files nis hosts: files nis dns
[edit] Run nspluginwrapper
Run the following for a library plugin to be found by Firefox:
nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
Or to upgrade from a previous installed Flash plugin:
nspluginwrapper -v -a -u
To view the loaded plugins:
nspluginwrapper -l
If this doesn't work on Firefox, all packages may need to be reinstalled cleanly.
[edit] Wine emulation
Full Adobe Flash 9 support can be present by using a Win32 browser and Adobe Flash 9 for Windows in WINE. This was tested with WINE 0.9.59, FreeBSD 7-Release and Firefox 2.0.0.13.
Alternatively look into installing the package emulators/pipelight , which is meant to use windows plugins, through wine emulation, in non-emulated FreeBSD browsers. (I haven't tested this set-up)

The PC-BSD project have released version 1.4 of their FreeBSD based distribution which includes native Flash Player in Konqueror, Firefox and Opera.
