MPLayer on OpenSolaris 2008.11

Hi,

I am in my hotel room in Paris and god damn I would like to read a dvd on my laptop...

Totem ? Not working !!!

So what ? Install Windows in Virtual Box ???
This is overkill !

The answer is MPlayer. OK. You have to compile it. But not that difficult.

I followed the procedure described here.

• Get the packages

root@vegan:~# pfexec pkg install SUNWgcc SUNWgmake IPSgawk SUNWxorg-headers DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB) Completed 12/12 2941/2941 40.67/40.67 PHASE ACTIONS Install Phase 3835/3835 PHASE ITEMS Reading Existing Index 9/9 Indexing Packages 12/12 root@vegan:~#

• Change your path

root@vegan:~# echo $PATH /usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin root@vegan:~# export PATH=/usr/gnu/bin:/opt/csw/gnu:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

• Download MPLayer

root@vegan:~# wget http://www8.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0rc2.tar.bz2 --18:20:17-- http://www8.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0rc2.tar.bz2 => `MPlayer-1.0rc2.tar.bz2' Resolving www8.mplayerhq.hu... 81.91.100.172 Connecting to www8.mplayerhq.hu|81.91.100.172|:80... connected.

• Extract MPLayer and enter the directory

root@vegan:~# tar jxf MPlayer-1.0rc2.tar.bz2 && cd MPlayer-1.0rc2

• configure the software for your particular platform

root@vegan:~# ./configure
...
...
...

• compile the software for your particular platform
  

root@vegan:~# gmake

cc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'
root@vegan:~/MPlayer-1.0rc2#

• Modify the file configure

root@vegan:~/MPlayer-1.0rc2# diff configure /export/home/rudy/Download/configure 7329a7330,7331 > # ruv > _ld_dl_dynamic='' root@vegan:~/MPlayer-1.0rc2#
_ld_dl_dynamic was emptied(1 modification in total).

# Dynamic linking flags

_ld_dl_dynamic=''
bsd && _ld_dl_dynamic='-rdynamic'
if test "$_real" = yes || test "$_xanim" = yes && not win32 && not qnx && not darwin ; then
_ld_dl_dynamic='-rdynamic'
fi
_ld_dl_dynamic='' <=== this line was added !!!

• configure again

root@vegan:~# ./configure
Detected operating system: SunOS
Detected host architecture: i386
Checking for cc version ... 3.4.3, ok

Check configure.log if you wonder why an autodetection failed (make sure
development headers/packages are installed).

NOTE: The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
and linker flags yourself.
If you used one of these options (except --enable-gui and similar ones that
turn on internal features) and experience a compilation or linking failure,
make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.

If you suspect a bug, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.
