flashfix-1.0 help


Hi everybody. I recently reinstalled Fedora Core 1 and i'm trying to install the shockwave flash plugin again. I ran the flashplayer-installer and remembered that i used flashfix-1.0 last time i installed the plugin prior to the reinstallation of fc1. i can't remember exactly what to do with flashfix. the contents of flashfix are: flashfix.c, gpl.txt, and Makefile. Anybody ever use this before and know how to use it correctly? There's no readme included or anything. Any help is much appreciated .

From the man page:
To prepare to use make, you must write a file called the makefile that
describes the relationships among files in your program, and the states
the commands for updating each file. In a program, typically the exe-
cutable file is updated from object files, which are in turn made by
compiling source files.

Once a suitable makefile exists, each time you change some source
files, this simple shell command:

make

suffices to perform all necessary recompilations. The make program
uses the makefile data base and the last-modification times of the
files to decide which of the files need to be updated. For each of
those files, it issues the commands recorded in the data base.

make executes commands in the makefile to update one or more target
names, where name is typically a program. If no -f option is present,
make will look for the makefiles GNUmakefile, makefile, and Makefile,
in that order.

So, in order to install this; you should run:
make -f Makefile
put the resulting file into the /plugins directory and execute it from there.
