[Gnash-dev] Plugin Help

[shamju joseph]

Hi,
    Please excuse me for sending this mail to gnash
dev list.
    I posted these doubts many times to mozilla plugin
developmentmailing list  and got no reply. If anyone
knows the answer please reply me. (As there is a
plugin for gnash available, I assume some of the gnash
developers might be familiar with plugin development)

    I've some doubts regarding plugin development. 

(1) How to compile the samples provided with mozilla?
(mozilla/modules/plugin/tools/sdk/samples/basic/unix).
I could only find Makefile.in file there. How to
generate Makefile from this?

My system : x86, Fedora Core 5, gcc : 4.1.0

(2) Is there any major difference between a plugin and
an application? I mean any limitation like that of
java applets?

(3) Can a plugin open local TCP port and send/receive
data to/from remote machines like ordinary C++
programs?

(4) Can a plugin access/modify local files?


Thanks
shamju joseph
