Makefile options for mplayer
 

Hi, BSD folks...

I was planning to install mplayer from the
ports. I cd into /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer and type
make install clean. A menu came up to enable
other options. I enabled a few options like
realplayer codec and xvid codec. Anyway, I got an error that it couldn't fetch the realplaer codec and ask me to fetch it.

I couldn't get it either. So, I ran make distclean to clear things. I ran make install clean and no menu came up.How can I
bring back this menu to disable the realplayer option. It is trying to build mplayer with realplayer codec. I appreciate amy help.

make rmconfig to remove only mplayer selected options
make rmconfig-recursive to remove mplayer and all itd dependencies options

all in man ports

Thanks vermaden for the info. I unselected the options
and mplayer was install sucessfully.

By the way, do you know a link on how I can install
java JRE and flash for the firefox browser?

Thanks again

You will have to install these:
linux-firefox or linux-firefox-devel
linux-flashplugin7 or linux-flashplugin9

but I dunno which java You will have to use, I used diablo-jre15 for some time but with native opera.

You will also have to add linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf

Thanks, I will try these sugguestions you gave me.

Thanks for your time.

:)

You are welcome ;)
