Arch Linux User Repository

I strongly recommend switching to other way to get audio in Flash - this package is largely outdated and seems to be not developed anymore. It is recommended to use of first three solutions from here: http://jackaudio.org/faq/routing_flash.html - I will probably disown this package soon and if noone will step up to maintain it (might require also picking up the development of this solution!) I think it should be removed from Arch - such obsolete code might cause more harm than good.

I've updated pkgbuild to use separate package function.

This always worked for me in Chromium. Now that i switched to Chrome it doesn't anymore. thoughts?

Hi, || return 1 isn't needed anymore. Thanks for maintaining.

Updated package with the sed line from leepesjee's comment, also added missing deps.

From the comments in flashsupport.c:
"...The ALSA and Video4Linux support in this file is somewhat redundant and reduced in functionality as the Flash Player already has ALSA and Video4Linux support built-in. It is provided here for reference only." So I just commented out the V4L1 define with "sed -i 's|#define V4L1|//#define V4L1|' ./flashsupport.c" and it all seem to work.
Btw, if having oss installed, you also need to get /usr/lib/libflashsupport.so out of the way. This also means you have to reinstall after every oss update.

Changing line 184 in flashsupport.c from linux/videodev.h to libv4l1-videodev.h will allow libflashsupport.so to build but it crashes the flash plugin in Chromium and Firefox4 (x86_64).

cc -shared -O2 -Wall -lssl flashsupport.c -o libflashsupport.so -fPIC

Flagged out of date because I always get this error too

Same here:

flashsupport.c:184:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory

What's up with that?

As of 2.6.38 this package doesn't appear to compile due to videodev.h being in staging:

flashsupport.c:184:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [libflashsupport_la-flashsupport.lo] Error 1

And editing the source or linking videodev.h produces an error:

In file included from flashsupport.c:184:0:
