It configured fine (stating that all of the X11 video out options were disabled), so I guess it will also build an run. Given that fact, that you can also hack the linux-realplayer port not to depend on the linux compatibility layer (which would probably introduce a dependency on X11), and the fact that mplayer has its own magic to use linux and even windows shared libraries, the OPs goal should be really achievable.

mplayer + realaudio ... what to expect when installing ...
Hello, I have a simple goal - to convert realaudio files I have saved to my drive into mp3s, on the fbsd command line. The answer, I have been told, is to install mplayer with realaudio support, and then just: mplayer file.ra -ao pcm That sounds reasonable. But I have two issues. First, I see no mplayer+realaudio in the ports tree - just mplayer. How do I get realaudio support into mplayer ? Second, just what kind of install is mplayer (and mplayer + realaudio, for that matter) ?? I want to keep this system nice and clean - and I will be upset if mplayer installs a million dependencies, or does something lame like install X for me, when I don't want it. So can someone describe just what an mplayer install is like ... and how to keep it from installing X, etc., if that is what it does ? thanks. __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

Yes, it does display videos on the command line. No, it's not pretty. Wrong. Mplayer depends on X if you define WITHOUT_GUI. WITHOUT_GUI causes it not to have a GUI (available if mplayer is invoked as gmplayer) and to not depend on GTK. Anyway, for just converting RealAudio into MP3, it should do the job nicely. -Henrik W Lund ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Insert your favourite quote here.

It makes a fine viewer for lynx, although you have to suid. Since it will no longer work with X if you suid it, I just copy and rename the binary which I suid. -- Lars Eighner [EMAIL PROTECTED] -finger for geek code- http://www.io.com/~eighner/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
