<A NAME=binary><P><B><I>Binary distribution of MPlayer</I></B></P>
<P>Tons of users asked us about this. For example Debian users tend to say: Oh,
I can <CODE>apt-get install avifile</CODE>, why should I <B>compile MPlayer</B> ?
While this may sound reasonable, the problem lies a bit deeper than
those-fuckin-MPlayer-developers-hate-gcc-2.96-and-RedHat-and-Debian.</P>
<P>Reasons: <B>Law</B></P>
<P><B>MPlayer</B> describes the <U>sourcecode</U>. It contains several files with incompatible
licenses especially on the redistribution clauses. As source files, they are
allowed to coexist in a same project.</P>
<P>Therefore, <U>NEITHER BINARIES NOR BINARY PACKAGES OF <B>MPlayer</B> ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST SINCE
SUCH OBJECTS BREAK LICENSES</U>. PEOPLE WHO DISTRIBUTE SUCH BINARY PACKAGES ARE
DOING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.</P>
<P>So if you know somebody who maintains a binary package then forward her/him
this text and (ask him to) contact us. What (s)he is doing is illegal and IT IS
NO LONGER <B>MPlayer</B>, but <U>his/her</U> mplayer. If it breaks, it is
his/her fault. Don't come and cry on the <B>MPlayer</B> mailing lists, you will
most likely be blacklisted.</P>
<P>Reasons: <B>Technical</B></P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI><B>MPlayer's</B> speed (MMX, SSE, fastmemcpy, etc) optimizations are
determined during compilation. Thus a compiled binary contains very
processor-specific code. An <B>MPlayer</B> binary compiled for K6 will die
on Pentiums and vice versa. This has to be workarounded by runtime
detection, which is not an easy thing to do becase it causes massive speed
decrease. If you don't believe (it was explained in details 10000 times on
mplayer-users, search the archive), solve it and send us a patch. Someone
begun work on it, but disappeared since then.</LI>
<LI><B>MPlayer's</B> video/audio system is not plugin based. It is compiled
into the binary, thus making the binary depend on various libraries (the
GUI depends on GTK, DivX4 depends on libdivxdecore, SDL depends on libSDL,
every SDL release contains an unique bug that has to be workarounded during
compiletime, X11 output compiles differently for X3 and X4, etc). You may
say: yes, let's make 30 versions of downloadable binaries! We won't. We
will make these stuff pluggable in the future.</LI>
</UL>
<P>We will (at least we wish) solve 2 of these problems in the next major release:
the legal problems (we're on removing all non-GPL codes and getting others to
change license to GPL) and the runtime CPU detection. Anyway, dependency on
various libraries, versions and environment parameters will remain.</P>
