 Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2004 6:41 am Post subject: AMD64 Flash Port |
 |
|
I just setup my new AMD64 machine and after researching for awhile I found out that flash does not work all that well on an AMD64 machine. In order to get it to work you have to have a 32bit version of your browser and use the emu libs. I think that we should all put a feature request into maromedia for an AMD64 version. This way we can show them there is a strong interest.
To do this go here.
If you get any word back from macromedia on the status of the AMD64 port please post it here.

I did, too - but I wouldn't hold my breath. If I'm not mistaken, the Flash 7 port for Linux was done by SUN for JDS originally, and if there's noone throwing money at Macromedia to do a port right now, I think we'll have to wait 'till 64bit x86 systems have at least 20-30% market share...
Anyway, if you want to use Flash 7 now (with a 64bit browser) and use Konqueror (or look for another reason to switch to KDE), check:

I've been lurking around these fourms for a while in preperation for my first installation  but I thought I should just let you know I also put in a feature request for a 64bit Flash Player on Linux...
Expect to see more of me very soon, I'm sure you can't wait  |

| I know its a big company and I shouldnt hold my breath and all but I am a programmer. Flash doesnt seem to use any asm or anything if I were to guess a recompile would be all they need to do. Thats why I think theres still some hope. Maybe if enough people request they will pass it onto the developers who will realize its easy and do it one after noon. |

I'm not sure why I did since I can't stand Flash crap, but I put in the request.

Macromedia, of course. Shockwave/Flash player is closed-source, hence only available in binary form. This means we only have a 32-bit version available for amd64, and it has to be run through all the emulation libraries...
64-bit mozilla plugin support is EXACTLY what we're asking for here.

We are sending to macromedia.
Mozilla can be compiled for 64bit, then it supports 64bit plugins. Use blackdown for 64bit java. |

Its sad when we have to wait for M$ to make a move before closed-source dev's will work on things  |

Gentoo on AMD64
