I hope Ron can figure out runtime cpu detection but can live without ogg

Sindi,

The attempted runtime detection on the source I used (and any newer sources) exited with the message of libraries not found, in both SW9 and SW10. I have to say I am not going to muck around with my functional SW installations just to create an MPlayer that I don't need. Life is too short !

Which libraries were not found? I can try with newer gcc.

Besides, I am not a skilled performer in this game. It was just blind luck that I used a source version in an existing SW distro that actually worked. I tried enabling a GUI - it exited with errors. I tried runtime detection - it exited with errors. I tried with neither of those enabled - it produced an MPlayer and Mencoder that run on my systems - that is an end to it.

I tried for hours until something worked. Had to be the right combination of source code and gcc - not too new, not too old.

I say again, if you want to have a go, then I can put the sources up on my website - you may try it yourself. Or you can get newer sources from the MPlayer website. I wish you luck. :)

Sources newer than 1rc7 would not compile for me even with SW11 gcc - please type mplayer and see what version you have (near the top of the output).


Regards,
Ron
