I created a spec file for MPlayer v0.50, if anyone wants to create their own rpms. To use it you need the specfile, a minor patch to make the config script stop complaining about gcc 2.96, and the source from the developers site. The specfile and patch can be found here: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/mplayer/ The source is available here: http://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-0.50.tar.bz2 You may also want the Win32 codecs: http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/w32codec-0.50.zip To create rpms: (assuming a standard rpm build environment) Put the specfile (mplayer-0.50.spec) in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ Put the patch (mplayer-0.50-gcc_version_patch) and the source (MPlayer-0.50.tar.bz2) in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ Build the rpms with: rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mplayer-0.50.spec After compilation, install the new rpm with: rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/MPlayer-0.50-1.i386.rpm > A minor thing: I forgot how ugly regular X fonts look!

Then automate the installation of some true type fonts. :) http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/xf86ttfontool-0.1-6.i386.rpm Have fun, - -D - -- pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7/Yq4eMAUbzJhSVcRAngyAJ93Jv68ossiQWi7g+NF6p1RJ0aaLwCePNen PznNrHkSTf7Gu3PMkvwHg6s= =hQ3h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
