Mplayer-quicktime ebuild (now without wine!)

[karl11]

I'm sure that everyone knows this, but just to reiterate....CVS is concurrent versions system. With CVS, this is the latest and greatest tree that the developers actually develop with. If one of them breaks something, and you "check it out" then the CVS won't build. CVS errors are usually fixed fairly quickly although sometimes they take some time. Glad to hear that it worked for you and that my bandwidth has apparently already been re-propogated.

Same here, compiling went fine after disabling gtk support. Had to move my config file out of the way then it worked.

[RickDB]

I can't get mplayer to compile with gtk(most likely a bug), but i want to try the cvs tree.
The website gives this adres: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/main/

But no instructions how to install the cvs , can someone tell me how i can compile an cvs version with a www adres?

[karl11]

The ebuild mentioned in this thread gets the CVS version! Did we not make that clear in all of the previous posts? Also, you should not get CVS through a www interface. Sure, you could download each file but you never point cvs to port 80. If this ebuild, mplayer-cvs-0.91.ebuild, is not working for you, then try back in a few hours, as IT does pull the cvs and would be the easiest way for you to get CVS.

Sorry if this sounds flammable, but please read the thread before posting. If nothing else, Matt mentions the mplayer-cvs ebuild in the first post on this thread.

[RickDB]

I read it wrong, just thought he made an ebuild from the most recent cvs
But i will try again in a few hours to see if the gkt errors are gone(i can compile without gtk but thats a little irri)
And finally i can watch .mov without going to w*ndows, must have been a bitch to make such a codec for linux.

Will this ebiuld be added to the portage tree?

Will this ebiuld be added to the portage tree?

Herbie.

hmmmm.... That I dunno... This pretty much just scratched an itch, but it would be cool if it made it into portage...

hmmmm.... That I dunno... This pretty much just scratched an itch, but it would be cool if it made it into portage...

you can submit new ebuilds using bugzilla:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-submit.xml

I for one would love to see this in the main portage tree. We have ebuilds for galeon-cvs and gaim-cvs already, so why not mplayer-cvs. Mplayer cvs is usually pretty stable and the developers seem to encourage it's use, so I think this would be a great addition.

Let me know if you need any other info .. thanks

[karl11]

eltech,
Same problem here...that's because it's cvs. They broke it a little while ago and until the developers fix it this build won't build. If you don't mind using wine and really want to get quicktime going, the old build is still available on http://www.99b.org/ with instructions and everything. It has a 99.8% working rate whereas cvs is up in the air every minute since that's the tree that the developers develop on.

Karl

p.s. Keep trying the cvs build, one day it will build

[eltech]

ah .. oh well .. *shrugs* .. i will wait untill its official in the portage tree .. thanks ...

wonder what takes so long, but ... let them do what they need to make it right

[magnuson]

If you're willing to build without gui support then
USE="-gtk" emerge mplayer-cvs
works for me

I'm getting this error too, but if I check out the cvs manually and run ./configure --enable-gui --enable-qtx-codecs everything compiles fine. I've looked through the ebiuld, but I can't see any other configure flag that might cause this error.

Herbie.

[herbie]

I seem to have found the problem, well my problem at least. Mplayer gui will not build without dvd support, at least it wont for me. I was getting this error:

Code: Select all

mplayer/gtk/menu.c: In function `create_PopUpMenu':
mplayer/gtk/menu.c:431: parse error before ')' token
mplayer/gtk/menu.c: At top level:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mplayer-cvs-0.91/work/main/Gui'
make: *** [Gui/libgui.a] Error 2

just as a few other people have reported. If I delete "--disable-mpdvdkit" from line 98 of the ebiuld it will compile and emerge without error.

I think whoever wrote the origional ebiuld must have had similar problems since

# NOTE to myself: Test this thing with and without dvd/gtk+ support,
# as it seems the mplayer guys dont really care to
# make it work without dvd support.

appears as a comment in the ebuild. I also note that this ebiuld disables dvd support in mplayer even if I have dvd in my USE, although it still depends on libdvdnav?

If anyone's interested here's an ebuild that compiles with dvd support if you have it in your USE http://fermat.ma.rhul.ac.uk/~herbie/mpl ... ebuild.tar

Anyway I got it to work so I'm happy

Herbie.

TYPOS: Corrected typos as noted by RickDB

Hi all,
i had the same identical problem with cvs snapshot of today (03 dec 2002, it seems that mplayer's guys have not noted this?). Anyway, just do (as root):

Code: Select all

cd /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/mplayer-cvs/main/libmpdemux
nano -w demuxer.h

add the line:

Code: Select all

#include "stream.h"

just after the first ifdef ... define pair so that the first 3 lines look like:

#ifndef __DEMUXER_H
#define __DEMUXER_H
#include "stream.h"

then re-run

Code: Select all

emerge mplayer-cvs

and get the gtk gui . Hope they fix the source soon

[Lin_Matt]

Have you submitted this to the mplayer folks? Would be a great fix for em to have...

[RickDB]

I think the post has a couple of typo's:

cd /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/mplayer-cvs/libmpdemux


should be(i think)

cd /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/mplayer-cvs/main/libmpdemux

And shouldn't:

#ifdef __DEMUXER_H
#define __DEMUXER_H
#include "stream.h"


Be:

#ifndef __DEMUXER_H
#define __DEMUXER_H 1
#include "stream.h"

Maybe this is because the cvs is now from 5 dec instead of 3 dec so they could have changed this

[perry]

I just tried emerging again, and it compiled just fine from cvs w/ GTK support. No editing needed.. guess they got the problem fixed.

[RickDB]

Yep it works now, but it says compiling with gtk but when i do this:

So how does the gui start exactly. i thought it would automaticly start when i typed mplayer-cvs ?

Could this be the problem:

First off, that is not an issue with mplayer-cvs....see this line in your output:

This is a problem with libungif. Go search for help on libungif before starting a new post, and next time, take a look at where it bombed before assuming it's a problem with an ebuild you haven't even started building I hope this is of some help to you and I hope you get this ebuild up pretty soon since this is very cool
