(this would be ports@ but it's something many people would care about, I think)
I'm reporting that I've got Gnash-0.8 (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/) working on OpenBSD. It's really choppy and doesn't work right on everything, but it's pretty close. In >60% of cases it's workable (and you can shutdown anyone who tries to tell you OpenBSD can't be a desktop system). Tonight I was reminded of gnash it and decided to try it. `pkg_add -iv gnash` indeed installed it, but youtube and even weebls-stuff.com was very broken. My friend told me that the version installed was *really* old. So I pkg_delete'd that and boldly just downloaded the source from a GNU mirror. `./configure` was unhappy with me, spitting a bunch of errors. it wanted a bunch of libs I didn't have. One of of them was the render; it gave an option "--enable-renderer=agg" to make it use this alternate renderer and since I'd noticed that agg had been installed when I first pkg_add'd it i used that. Then it was still unable, and wanted me to disable klash (which is some kind of KDE crap interface to it I suppose). I built it and installed it, but the firefox plugin was in the wrong place so I had to move that too. So, the full sequence of commands I used: $ sudo pkg_add -iv agg $ #[download gnash-0.8.0 from your favourite GNU mirror] $ tar zxvf gnash-0.8.0.tar.gz $ cd gnash-0.8.0 $ ./configure --enable-renderer=agg --disable-klash $ sudo make #I don't know if sudo is needed here $ sudo make install $ mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins $ sudo mv ~/.firefox/plugins/* ~/.mozilla/plugins $ mozilla-firefox youtube.com #make sure this actually restarts mozilla in mozilla you can check the URL about:plugins to see what it knows about gnash. -Nick
