[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] mplayer working

[From: Ville Reijonen]

Got mplayer working with audio quite easily:
..but it needs more cpu- or dsp-magic to really do something..

-Scratchbox: sbox-config -st SDK_ARM
-I got few extra repositories in scratchbox /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/pub/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/pub/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free
(Suppose not all needed.. but makes it easier for compiling from Debian)
-Compiled: apt-get -b source libmad
-Installed on scratchbox: fakeroot dpkg -i *deb
-Downloaded mplayer source from mplayerhq.hu
-Extracted and ran configure:
  ./configure --disable-tv --disable-tv-v4l --disable-tv-v4l2 \
  --disable-mpdvdkit --disable-dvb --disable-pnm --disable-png \
  --disable-xv --disable-mencoder --prefix=./install
(I think you can disable even more stuff, but I wanted just to test)
-Installed fast and ugly: Made a tar-package from install-directory and 
moved it and libmad-package to 770. As root extracted those to /.
-Ran: mplayer -fs -vo sdl -ao sdl -ac mad <ice-age.avi>
-Noticed that cpu-monitor is in the red and some frames were missing.

Feel free to hack more =)
