Static = no library needed?

No ncurses needed?


Static usually means all libraries are compiled in.

In some cases (using some glibc functions) however, you still need the libraries for some functions.


Get mpg321-0.2.10.tar.gz source (111K) from 2002

Based on MAD, xmms and plaympeg code and billed as a drop-in replacement
for mpg123, which has not been updated since 2000.

A libc5 version should work in BL2 since I already added libc5 for netpbm. (But in my experience lynx compiled completely statically refused to work online until I gave it glibc6. Worked fine offline.)

You see, here's the issue I was talking about. The networking functions in glibc require you to have glibc installed.


I'm not sure it would be much better than any other player.

Mplayer looked like it had 25MB of dependencies. How big is your static version?


5MB uncompressed. Unleashing bzip2 on it squashed it down to 2.2MB.
Keep in mind that this has nearly everything. DVD support, and also
85 audio codecs, 192 video codecs, X11, FB, basic VESA video, several
audio drivers, blah blah blah.

If you'd like me to compile Mplayer or pretty well anything I'd gladly have that done (I have access to a 3Ghz, 4Gig of RAM box for building packages).
