I'm using Slackware 14.1 with multilib.

As you may know, there is a "freshplugin" that lets you use the flash pepper Google Chrome on Firefox. So you can use the latest version of Flash Plugin in Firefox. This story because all those Google Chrome no longer use the NPAPI and instead use the PPAPI.

Well, the freshplayer is available at:

https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin

I follow the instructions to install. What I do is the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin
$ cd freshplayerplugin
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

Now, the next two commands should be:

$ cmake ..
$ make

However, after running the first of these I get the following message in the terminal:

-- checking for modules 'alsa;glib-2.0;x11;xinerama;egl;glesv2;liburiparser;libconfig;libevent;libevent_pthreads;cairo;pango;pangocairo ;pangoft2;freetype2;gtk+-2.0'

-- package 'glesv2' not found
-- package 'liburiparser' not found

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:279 (message):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/xerxeslins/freshplayerplugin/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

Apparently missing two dependencies: glesv2 and liburiparser.

Is that really what's happening?
You can solve this problem in Slackware?
Perhaps freshplugin has been designed just for Ubuntu?
Anyone have any idea?



Thank you very much!

Glesv2 can be added via MesaLib. Just add the appropriate flags to the configuration and rebuild the SlackBuild, and reinstall the package. Get the sources and run ./configure --help for more info.

Liburiparser will have to be downloaded and installed from here:

http://uriparser.sourceforge.net/

Src2pkg can help if a SlackBuild doesn't exist.

Thank you! I'll try later and I'll post the result.

liburiparser can be built with:

libconfig is also needed, we have a SlackBuild for that: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...ries/libconfig

Mesa has to be rebuilt with the configure flag "--enable-gles2".

After that, I put the generated libfreshwrapper-pepperflash.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins.

And - it crashes all the time. The latest trunk does not work at all. So I loaded version 0.1.0 from github:

https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplay...ses/tag/v0.1.0

According to the README one should create ~/.config/freshwrapper.conf with the content:

BUT: Version 0.1.0 does not recognize this, I don't know why. I had to edit the file src/np_entry.c like this:

That was messy. But now it works like a charme!

Thank you very much! Everything working here thanks for your help!

The developer just made fixes for Slackware, the latest trunk works now, too.

You get two plugins now, the freshwrapper plugin and a NaCl plugin - I copied both of them into the plugins directory and deleted the old one - done. Works very smooth and doesn't spam the log anymore.

(The paths don't have to be edited anymore, too.)

This is very good. Thank you. I just installed.

However, after some benchmark tests on:

http://www.snailsanimation.com/benchmark08_play.php

It was clear that this Freshplayer has a low performance compared to Flash Pipelight. Available in:

http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/pipelight/

I found it strange since the Freshplayer uses the native Linux plugin, while Pipelight uses Windows plugin. But it's true.

I got this error when trying to compile uriparser:

Please tell me this is a mistake on the part of the developer. Graphviz is a package I should not have to compile to get uriparser to compile.

No, it's not a mistake on the part of the developer. Lots of packages *optionally* need doxygen, dot from graphviz, etc etc, to generate documentation, and lots of SlackBuilds disable all that. If you had run './configure --help' before trying to compile it, then you would have seen the '--disable-doc' option in the configure options.

Thanks. It compiled successfully this time, using that option.
