installing mplayer in Slackware 10
 

Hi folks,

I have installed slackware 10.0 but I haven't installed anything related to X, KDE or GNOME (including GTK and QT). And I want to install mplayer, but it prompted the following during compilation.
make[1]: *** No rle to make target `vf_hue.o`, needed by `libmpcodecs.a`. Stop.

How can I get this `vf_hue.o`, do I need to recompile my kernel or make some of the modules?

Thx,
Ed

May I ask two things?

1 - Why would you need to install mplayer without anything related to X?. You won't be able to play videos, you know :). However, if it's to play mp3's, install mpg123 or mpg321, or some of the command line players. I'm sure Slackware has one of those packages ready to install and use.

2 - What does ./configure say when you try to compile mplayer? The ./configure errors are the good ones, so we know exactly which packages your are missing ;)

Regards!

As far as I know you can't do that - MPlayer absolutely HAS to have X and related libraries available, as well as the GTK libraries. It should stop already somewhere in the configure phase and complain that it misses a library.

You have got to install X and all development libraries as well as GTK in order to compile MPlayer.

Actually mplayer does require the development libraries in the X packages and such but it is possible to have mplayer play and run on the console using framebuffering without ever running or starting X.

Hi all,

I have read mplayer site and I found it is great that it can play mpeg in console mode with framebuffer. This is very good to me as I have a very limited space. Refer to the build process, I have no exception during ./configure and I can start building mplayer. However in the middle, error prompted saying vf_hue.o missing. I wonder what option will enable me to build vf_hue.o.

p.s. During the installation of slackware 10, I have installed all lib.
Below is my config.mak

Thx

Hi all,

problem solved. The cause is some of the files are failed to untar due to timestamp expired. I get all the file and it works.

What a clumsy mistake.

Thx
