<P>To build the package, get the cvs version, or .tgz and uncompress it,
and cd into programs directory:</P>
<P>The main development platform is Linux on x86, altough MPlayer works on many
other Linux ports.</P>

<P>To build a Debian package, run the following command in the MPlayer source

dpkg-deb: building package `mplayer' in `../mplayer_0.90-1_i386.deb'.</P>
<P>And now just become root, and:</P>
<P>As root you can then install the <CODE>.deb</CODE> package as usual:</P>
<PRE>
dpkg -i ../mplayer_0.90-1_i386.deb as root.
dpkg -i ../mplayer_&lt;version&gt;.deb

<P>Here's how it looks like:</P>
<P>Christian Marillat has been making unofficial Debian MPlayer, MEncoder and
font packages for a while, you can (apt-)get them from his
<A HREF="http://marillat.free.fr/">homepage</A>. These packages are highly
unofficial, however, as Christian made and redistributed these packages when
MPlayer was still not fully GPLed and
<A HREF="users_against_developers.html#binary">binary redistribution</A>
not allowed. Christian ignored requests to stop redistributing his packages,
which caused bad blood with MPlayer developers. Binary redistribution is not
a problem anymore, but we <B>do not support</B> these packages!</P>

<P>Dominik Mierzejewski created and maintains official Red Hat RPM packages of
MPlayer. They are available from his
<A HREF="http://www.piorunek.pl/~dominik/linux/pkgs/mplayer/">homepage</A>.
Please read the instructions there and report problems to him, not us.</P>
<P>There are other RPM versions (SuSE now includes MPlayer in their official
distribution, Mandrake packages are available from the
<A HREF="http://plf.zarb.org/">P.L.F</A>) of MPlayer, but none of them is
officially supported.</P>
