FYI - Freevo used to be available in a tar ball with static libraries and most or all dependencies. It sounds good, but it turned out to be problematic for me. I much prefer the current light weight method that uses the mplayer that I or my distro built that has everything I want.

Peter- Not much help on gentoo for you other than you will need a strong box build it on or have a lot of patiences. VIdalinux is a stage 3 install of Gentoo and might be a better starting point. I personally have no trouble at all out of my slackware freevo box. it is an old p3 550 with 128mg ram with an nvidia card running tv out. I used it with DXR3 for a while but thought DVDs where nice everything else was abit off. Never did figure out why.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think I will try Gentoo out. I am not familiar with its usage, but have heard of it before. Any thing I should consider during installation to make it an easy freevo install?

You might think about using a different distro for a freevo box. I know 2 years ago SuSE was my favorite, but to get mplayer to have everything in it I had to compile about 15 dependencies in /usr/local and get them all just right. I was actually trying to write a script to build them all in the right order. Then I found Gentoo, it seems to be well suited for A/V projects because of it's dependency structure and "fresh" packages. Gentoo now has a Freevo .ebuild which works flawlessly too. (Didn't always have one, and it didn't always work flawlessly)

A long time slack user, I have just started to look into Freevo. I think I bit of more than I can chew, I am drowning in source and dependencies and such. Shawn's idea of a repository is a great one. The "whole shebang" package would be a nice bonus, but I would be happy with a repository of packages.

------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NetI use Freevo on Slackware 10 and I think it would be most beneficial to have all the deps seperately compiled and available as packages. I think it would greatly aid the average slackware user much better than having a huge package to install for minor upgrades.
On the other hand, if you wanted to pake a single monolithic package then it would be easier to make sure everything for freevo was compiled against the right versions of everything else. I've found it much easier to have everything seperate but that's possibly just because I've compiled all the deps myself and installed then with checkinstall.
I would like to have access to a repository with both individual packages and a "whole shebang" package so I'd have the choice. Just some things to think about.

I was wondering the best way to pacakge Freevo. Would it be better to build all teh deps seperately and make it available that way or to build a single all in one binary? I can see advantages to both. Especially with Slackware not really having a Dep. tracking system.
