I been messing around with Mplayer & trying to get aTunes working, because aTunes uses Mplayer's environment for playback. It took a while, but after about a week of research & trial & errors just trying to configure the src for Mplayer. I may have cheated, because I have LWS added as an IPS repo, and I have everything from it installed, and I used it as a lib dir.
The following is the configure line for mplayer: ./configure --libdir=/opt/LSW/lib --enable-color-console --enable-gui --enable-menu --prefix=/usr I installed it directly into the OpenSolaris file structure, and seems to working fine. I had a couple of issues with getting it to gmake install due to some -rdynamic issue, but I just deleted it from the config.mak file & ran "gmake install" again, (make sure once you delete this from the file you do not run ./configure again, because it just remakes the same unedited file again). I also had some issues with trying to get the Makefile to just install the mplayer, mencoder, & the man files, but I made some adjustments & copied over some files manually & it seems to work well (After downloading a skin) as a stand alone player for m4a, mp3, what ever else you want. It also enables aTunes to work flawlessly. After I got this working I decided to try to the mplayerplug-in working for Firefox, so I downloaded the source for the plugin & compiled it with the following: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mozilla-home=/usr/lib/firefox --enable-wmp --enable-qt --enable-rm --enable-gmp --enable-dvx --libdir=/opt/LSW/lib And Presto Built & installed I tried it out on a page with mms & it hung out gray for a while & then it launched with sound & all of that nice stuff. I was trying to get Songbird working, but I could not get it to recognize any gst plug-ins were ever they were installed or linked, so I am happy that I got some thing to work well & with a limited amount of aggrevation. I will answer any questions that anyone may have, and I will get some detailed instructions on How To Do this fun stuff after I get all of the info together. Later! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
