<para>
<application>MPlayer</application> runs on all known BSD flavors.
There are ports/pkgsrc/fink/etc versions of <application>MPlayer</application>
available that are probably easier to use than our raw sources.
</para>

<para>
To build <application>MPlayer</application> you will need GNU make
(gmake - native BSD make will not work) and a recent version of binutils.
</para>

<para>
If <application>MPlayer</application> complains about not finding
<filename>/dev/cdrom</filename> or <filename>/dev/dvd</filename>,

  result in very poor MPlayer performance.

<para>
To build the package you will need GNU <application>make</application>
(<filename>gmake</filename>, <filename>/opt/sfw/gmake</filename>), native
Solaris make will not work. Typical error you get when building with
Solaris' make instead of GNU make:
<screen>
% /usr/ccs/bin/make
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 25: Unexpected end of line seen
</screen>
</para>

<para>
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.

by Martin Gansser on his homepage. With these instructions the build should
work out of the box. The following information is taken from this HOWTO.
</para>

<para>
You need GCC 3.4.0 or later, GNU make 3.80 or later and SDL 1.2.7 or later.
HP cc will not produce a working program, prior GCC versions are buggy.
For OpenGL functionality you need to install Mesa and the gl and gl2 video
output drivers should work, speed may be very bad, depending on the CPU speed,
though. A good replacement for the rather poor native HP-UX sound system is
GNU esound.

<application>MPlayer</application> using GCC 3.4 or greater,
or if you are building on POWER5, GCC 4.0 is required.
</para>

<para>
Ensure that you are using GNU make
(<filename>/opt/freeware/bin/gmake</filename>) to build
<application>MPlayer</application>, as you will encounter problems if
you use <filename>/usr/ccs/bin/make</filename>.
</para>

<para>
CPU detection is still a work in progress.
The following architectures have been tested:
