BLFS Trial/Hard Time/Mplayer
 

I downloaded/installed Mplayer, skin and fonts.

The new default skin is Blue.

I used the following to setup the gui:
cat > /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf << "EOF"
gui = yes
skin = Blue
EOF

Here is the result:
bash-2.05b$ sudo mplayer

Please remove gui=yes from your config and run gmplayer if you want the GUI.
Error parsing option gui=yes at line 1
Warning unknown option skin at line 2
bash-2.05b$

I tried replacing Blue in the script for default. Still get the same error.

Please assist.

Thanks.

Re: BLFS Trial/Hard Time/Mplayer
 

Kinda says it all. Re-edit your config file, set gui=yes to gui=no and run gmplayer. If you didn't run ./configure --enable-gui when you installed, you will have to start from that point.

I didnot (include)run the
/ configure --enable-gui
command the first time. Thanks for posinting this out. Now I get a very different output. For the GUI I see there are several dependencies. I need to get them all.

Checking for GUI ... yes
Checking for XShape extension ... yes
Checking for gtk version ...
Error: The GUI requires GTK devel packages (which were not found).

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.
bash-2.05b#

Also used gui=no, it didn't help. Please Assist.

Thanks.

Command gmplayer doesn't work.

bash-2.05b# gmplayer
bash: gmplayer: command not found
bash-2.05b# exit
exit
bash-2.05b$ sudo gmplayer

install GTK+-1.2.10 first
if you want enable-gui
