Not sure what was up with your FF/XulRunner installation, but why the
prejudice against gecko-mediaplayer? It works great! Yes, MPlayer can
be a bit of a pain, and 1.0rc3 has been broken on newer systems for
quite a while now (any audio causes a segfault) so you'll have to grab a
snapshot. I just updated to 2010-07-30 and it works correctly AFAICT on
LFS-6.6 with much of BLFS updated to latest and greatest (including a
full gnome-2.30.2 environment). I have for mplayer, the following
(don't forget to define a version like 20100730) and actually, the font
and skin section can be removed if you play to build gnome-mplayer anyway:
sudo install -v -d -m755 /usr/lib/mplayer/codecs &&
sudo tar -xvf ../all-20100303.tar.bz2 \
-C /usr/lib/mplayer/codecs --strip-components=1 &&
sudo chown -v -R root:root /usr/lib/mplayer/codecs &&
sudo install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/mplayer/Skin &&
sudo tar -xvf ../Blue-1.7.tar.bz2 \
-C /usr/share/mplayer/Skin &&
sudo chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/mplayer/Skin/Blue &&
sudo chmod -v 755 /usr/share/mplayer/Skin/Blue{,/icons} &&
sudo ln -sfv Blue /usr/share/mplayer/Skin/default &&
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--confdir=/etc/mplayer \
--enable-largefiles \
--enable-dynamic-plugins \
--enable-gui \
--enable-menu &&
make &&
sudo make install &&
sudo install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/mplayer-${version} &&
sudo cp -v -R DOCS/* /usr/share/doc/mplayer-${version} &&
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/doc/mplayer-${version}/xml &&
sudo install -m644 etc/codecs.conf /etc/mplayer &&
sudo install -m644 etc/*.conf /etc/mplayer &&
sudo install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/mplayer/font &&
sudo tar -xvf ../font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2 \
-C /usr/share/mplayer/font &&
sudo chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/mplayer/font &&
cd /usr/share/mplayer/font &&
sudo ln -v -sf font-arial-iso-8859-1/font-arial-18-iso-8859-1/* .
For gnome-mplayer, which is required for gecko-mediaplayer, I have the
following (where $GNOME_CONFIG is consistent with the rest of the
configure arguments in the book for other gnome packages, but
prefix=/usr should do just fine):
./configure $GNOME_CONFIG &&
make &&
sudo make install
And for gecko-mediaplayer:
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
sudo make install
