Notes for Solaris users ======================= 1. It *only* works on Solaris x86. It can't work on SPARC systems due to the use of win32 codecs. 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 122: Unexpected end of line seen 3. You also need the GNU assembler; and the GNU C compiler, configured to use the GNU assembler. The mplayer code makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW! instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler /usr/ccs/bin/as. Use the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell configure where it can find GNU as on your system. 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: http://www.tools.de/solaris/mplayer/ 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 (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22592) -- Jürgen Keil
