How long does that "Make" command take???

I started it a while ago, and it's been going for ages making MPlayer-0.90! This is after I ran bzip2 and tar....

P.S. It also is displaying in the lines "Warning" a lot.....

Yeah, mplayer will take a while to compile. It depends on your system, but on my Athy 900 it takes a good 20 minutes. Usually I will compile mplayer when I am getting ready to go eat dinner, then let make run til I return.

As long as it doesn't error out, ignore the "warnings".

Cool

When I compile mplayer, it usually would take a little more than 10 minutes or so on the 'make' command. I'll tend to just do a:

./configure [options] &&
make

And when that finishes, su to root so I can 'make install' and be finished with, running all this in the background terminal, etc while I working on other stuff.

I can't use the make command.... is gcc not installed?? (i'm not sure got this box from someone else )

Not trying to be off topic just seemed like a wasted of another thread...

whereis gcc

This would at least tell you if it's installed or not. Then:
whereis make

Cool

ok make came up with nothing... now what?? (gcc was found)

If make is not installed you've got it install it. Search your install discs and locate the package for make. You'll need the following dependencies satisfied (AFAIK, I am gathering this from here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/view...er06/make.html ):
Autoconf
Automake
Bash
Binutils
Diffutils
Fileutils
Gcc
Glibc
Grep
M4
Gawk
Sed
Sh-utils
Texinfo
Textutils

FYI, you probably have most/all of those already

Cool
