Description

nspluginwrapper is an Open Source compatibility plugin for Netscape 4 (NPAPI) plugins. It separates the execution environment of the plugin from the browser, allowing a plugin compiled for one ABI to be used in a browser compiled for another.

For example the linux 32bit Adobe Flash plugin can be used in a native Firefox under Linux/x86_64, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD platforms.

To install the Linux flash player into a native Firefox browser:

  • Also install multimedia/adobe-flash-player and multimedia/libflashsupport
  • Run "nspluginwrapper -i /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so"
  • Run Firefox

You do not need nspluginwrapper if the ABI of the plugin and browser are the same, such as running a 32 bit Linux firefox and flash plugin under NetBSD.

Install

Binary package:

pkgin install nspluginwrapper

From pkgsrc:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/nspluginwrapper && make install clean
