In my MPlayer-1.0pre7try2/README file, there is the following description: NOTE: If you run Debian you can configure, compile and build a proper Debian .deb package with only one command: fakeroot debian/rules binary If you want to pass custom options to configure, you can set up the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable. For instance, if you want GUI and OSD menu support you would use: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-gui --enable-menu" fakeroot debian/rules binary You can also pass some variables to the Makefile. For example, if you want to compile with gcc 3.4 even if it's not the default compiler: CC=gcc-3.4 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-gui" fakeroot debian/rules binary To clean up the source tree run the following command: fakeroot debian/rules clean > -- > Regards, Paul Cs醤yi > http://csanyipal.info/moodle <<<--- Moodle - Course Management System > http://csanyipal.info:81 <<<--- sTeam - Cooperative Learning > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
