Complie Mplayer With Gcc4.0 Patch file is provided

[jedipi 0]

GCC 4.0 comes with the new Fedora core 4.

MPlayer cannot be compiled in this new environment.

If you have Fedora core 4 or upgraded to GCC4 and have problems on compiling MPlayer,

now worry, follow the steps:

 

1. Download all neccessry files. They are:

 

* the source code of mplayer， I prefer the latest release: MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.bz2

* mplayer-1.0_pre7-gcc4.patch. As you can see, this is a patch file for MPlayer 1.0pre7,

In order the compile mplayer under gcc-4.0 environment, this patch must be applied

This patch file can be download here:

* Codecs. You can download either essential-codecs or all-codecs

* some codecs are optional, such as LIVE.COM, lzo and libmad etc..

* ttf fonts.

Files can be found in MPlayer's website.

# ./genMakefiles linux

# make

# cd ..

# mv live /usr/lib/live

 

2.4 compile and install

CONSOLE

# cd MPlayer-1.0pre7

# ./configure –-enable-live

# make && make install

 

3. Enjoy it.

 

NOTIC:

GUI is not enabled as I don't have gtk installed in my system.

add '--enable-gui' after './configure' if you wannt to user GUI

add '–-enable-live' after './configure' if you have LIVE.COM installed.
