I'm building Mplayer-1.0pre7 using the "stable" version of "the Book."
When I got to the "CODEC Installation" section I entered the following
command:
tar -jvxf ../essential-20050412.tar.bz2 \
-C /usr/lib/mplayer/codecs --strip-components=1
and tar complained. It even told me to check the "help." How dare it!! :-)
So, I checked the help and changed '--strip-components=1' to
'--strip-path=1' and the rest of the codec build continued without incident.
I checked the development version of "the Book" and the same tar command
is there too.
