INSTALLATION: To compile this software you need to install development packages for llvm-2.7, sdl, opengl, curl, zlib, libavcodec, ftgl, libglew, fontconfig. If sound is enabled (on by default), you will also need the development package for pulseaudio-libs. If the browser plugin is enabled (off by default), you will need the development package for xulrunner. Install also cmake and nasm. To build the software please follow these steps. 1) cd lightspark 2) mkdir objs 3) cd objs 4) cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCOMPILE_PLUGIN=1 .. 5) make 6) sudo make install DEBUG MODE: To enable debug mode change the cmake command like this: 4b) cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCOMPILE_PLUGIN=1 CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE available: Debug Release RelWithDebInfo Profile Debian Sound support may be disabled using the following option: -DENABLE_SOUND=0 EXECUTION: Using `make install`, lightspark is installed in the system wide Firefox plugin path and Firefox should show it in the about:plugins list and in the Tools->Add-ons->Plugins window. Lightspark registers itself as the plugin for application/x-shockwave-flash and for application/x-lightspark, so it should be recognisable in the about:plugins page. Its description string is "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r<current version>". The current version is now "r42". Firefox is not able to deal very well with multiple plugins for the same MIME type. If you only see a black box where a flash app should be try to remove any other flash plugin you have installed.
