Notes for Solaris users ======================= 1. To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake), native Solaris make will not work. 2. For DVD support you must have the patched libcss installed. Patch: http://www.tools.de/solaris/mplayer/ 3. Due to two bugs in solaris 8 x86, you cannot reliably play DVDs using a capacity >4GB: - The sd(7D) driver on solaris 8 x86 driver has bug when accessing a disk block >4GB on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE (i.e. CDROM and DVD media). Due to a 32bit int overflow, a disk address modulo 4GB is accessed. (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516) - The similar bug is present in the hsfs(7FS) filesystem code (aka ISO9660), hsfs currently does not support partitions/disks >4GB, all data is accessed modulo 4GB (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22592) -- Jürgen Keil
