I don't have an Apple system so the following is my "guess" at what you need to do based on Linux experience and the Jon Simpson's blog .
1. Open a Terminal Window - this will be a command line interface. 2. cd to a directory where you will store the mplayer source and you will build the new mplayer executable. For example (comments in brackets - do not type) : a. cd (this will bring you to home directory) b. mkdir mplayersrc (this will make a directory called mplayersrc) c. cd mplayersrc 3. From OSX GUI Download a copy of MPlayer-1.0pre8.tar.bz2 (found here http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre8.tar.bz2) and move it into the mplayersrc (or whatever you named it) directory 4. Using Terminal window where you are currently in the mplayersrc directory and now contains the MPlayer-1.0pre8.tar.bz2 file. Use the following command to unpack the tar file - you should lots of text scrolling past - a line per file tar xvjf MPlayer-1.0pre8.tar.bz2 5. There be one new directory MPlayer-1.0pre8. cd to this directory 6. Type the following command not the leading dot and slash ./configure --disable-gl --disable-x11 Some users have used the following but it makes no sense with the disable-X11 option. ./configure --disable-gl --disable-x11 –with-freetype-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config 7. Assuming no errors - type the following command and compilation should start with lots of text scrolling over the screen make 8 Assuming no errors type the following to test - you should get a banner ./mplayer --version If you have errors after steps 7 - post the error messages. 9 If mplayer is OK with a banner then you need to install mplayer but I'm not sure excactly where. Post when you get this far. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30903 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
