Notes for Solaris users
|
|
|
|
|
|
=======================

|
1. It *only* works on Solaris x86. It can't work on SPARC systems due to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the use of win32 codecs.

|
|
|
|
2. To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake),
|
2001-06-26 09:04:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
native Solaris make will not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Typical error you get when building with solaris' make instead of GNU
|
|
|
|
|
|
make:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% /usr/ccs/bin/make
|
|
|
|
|
|
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 122: Unexpected end of line seen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. You also need the GNU assembler; and the GNU C compiler, configured to use
|
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU assembler. The mplayer code makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW!
|
|
|
|
|
|
instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler /usr/ccs/bin/as.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell
|
|
|
|
|
|
configure where it can find GNU as on your system.

2001-06-26 09:04:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Typical error you get when building with a GNU C compiler that does
|
|
|
|
|
|
not use GNU as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% gmake
|
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
gcc -c -Iloader -Ilibvo -O4 -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -ffast-math
|
|
|
|
|
|
-fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/local/include -o mplayer.o mplayer.c
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assembler: mplayer.c
|
|
|
|
|
|
"<stdin>", line 3567 : Illegal mnemonic
|
|
|
|
|
|
"<stdin>", line 3567 : Syntax error
|
|
|
|
|
|
... more "Illegal mnemonic" and "Syntax error" errors ...
|

|
4. For DVD support you must have the patched libcss installed. Patch:

|
5. Due to two bugs in solaris 8 x86, you cannot reliably play DVDs using a
|
2001-06-06 21:16:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
capacity >4GB:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The sd(7D) driver on solaris 8 x86 driver has bug when accessing a
|
|
|
|
|
|
disk block >4GB on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i.e. CDROM and DVD media). Due to a 32bit int overflow, a disk
|
|
|
|
|
|
address modulo 4GB is accessed.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The similar bug is present in the hsfs(7FS) filesystem code (aka ISO9660),
|
|
|
|
|
|
hsfs currently does not support partitions/disks >4GB, all data is
|
|
|
|
|
|
accessed modulo 4GB
