The main development platform is Linux on x86, although
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> works on many other Linux ports.
|
|
Binary packages of <application>MPlayer</application> are available from several
|
|
sources. However, <emphasis role="bold">none of these packages are supported</emphasis>.

To build a Debian package, run the following command in the

As root you can then install the <filename>.deb</filename> package as usual:

<application>MPlayer</application> works on Linux PDAs with ARM CPU e.g. Sharp Zaurus,
|
|
Compaq Ipaq. The easiest way to obtain <application>MPlayer</application> is to get it
|
|
from one of the <ulink url="http://www.openzaurus.org">OpenZaurus</ulink> package feeds. If
|
|
you want to compile it yourself, you should look at the
|
|
<ulink url="http://openzaurus.bkbits.net:8080/buildroot/src/packages/mplayer?nav=index.html|src/.|src/packages">mplayer</ulink>

<ulink url="http://openzaurus.bkbits.net:8080/buildroot/src/packages/libavcodec?nav=index.html|src/.|src/packages">libavcodec</ulink>

directory in the OpenZaurus distribution buildroot. These always have the latest
|
|
Makefile and patches used for building a CVS <application>MPlayer</application> with
|
|
<systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem>.

If you need a GUI frontend, you can use xmms-embedded.

not put it in your global path) then point to the location with:

you will have to edit the <filename>Makefile</filename> by hand a little bit.

<programlisting>

$(INSTALL) -c -m 644 DOCS/mplayer.1 $(MANDIR)/man1/mplayer.1

$(INSTALL) -c -m 644 etc/codecs.conf $(CONFDIR)/codecs.conf

$(INSTALL) -m 644 codecs.conf $(CONFDIR)/
