Notes for Solaris users
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
1. AVI file playback works best on Solaris x86, because you have the
|
||
option to use the win32 codecs on the x86 platform. On Solaris SPARC,
|
||
you'll find quite a few AVI files with non working video and/or
|
||
audio playback, because the video/audio codecs using the win32 DLLs
|
||
are not available.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2. To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake),
|
||
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 25: Unexpected end of line seen
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. On Solaris SPARC, you need the GNU C/C++ Compiler; it does not matter
|
||
if GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler.
|
||
|
||
On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++
|
||
compiler, configured to use the GNU assembler! The mplayer code on
|
||
the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW!
|
||
instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler
|
||
/usr/ccs/bin/as.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The configure script tries to find out, which assembler program is
|
||
used by your "gcc" command (in case the autodetection fails, use
|
||
the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell the
|
||
configure script where it can find GNU "as" on your system).
|
||
|
||
Error message from configure on a Solaris x86 system using GCC
|
||
without GNU assembler:
|
||
|
||
% configure
|
||
...
|
||
Checking assembler (/usr/ccs/bin/as) ... , failed
|
||
Please upgrade(downgrade) binutils to 2.10.1...
|
||
|
||
(Solution: Install and use a gcc configured with "--with-as=gas")
|
||
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
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.
|
||
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516)
|
||
|
||
- 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
