<P><B>Debian users</B> can build a .deb package for themselves, it's very
simple. Just exec <CODE>fakeroot debian/rules binary</CODE> in <B>MPlayer</B>'s
root dir. Detailed instructions can be found <A HREF="documentation.html#6.1">here</A>.</P>

<P>Only one thing remains: copy the <B>codecs.conf</B> file from the <CODE>etc</CODE>
directory (relative to the <B>MPlayer</B> tree) to <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/codecs.conf</CODE> .
You should also check the manpage and <CODE>example.conf</CODE> for available options, and insert them
into your config file, <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/config</CODE> .</P>


<P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P>

<P>The GUI needs GTK (it isn't GTK, but the panels are). The skins are stored

  <LI>specify <CODE>gui=yes</CODE> in your config file</LI>
  <LI><CODE>ln -s /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/bin/gmplayer</CODE> ,
  and call <CODE>gmplayer</CODE> instead.
</UL>
</P>

<P>As <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them
if you want to use the GUI. See the <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>.
They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory (<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>),
or to <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/Skin</CODE> . <B>MPlayer</B> by default looks in

<P>At this point, <B>MPlayer</B> is ready to use. The directory
<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer</CODE> contains the <CODE>codecs.conf</CODE>
file, which is used to tell the program all the codecs and their capabilities.
This file should always be kept uptodate together with the main binary !</P>
