Notes for Solaris users
=======================
1. It *only* works on Solaris x86. It can't work on SPARC systems due to
the use of win32 codecs.
2. To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake),
native Solaris make will not work. You also need the GNU C compiler,
configured to use the GNU Assembler. The mplayer code makes heavy use
of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW! instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's
assembler /usr/ccs/bin/as.
3. For DVD support you must have the patched libcss installed. Patch:
http://www.tools.de/solaris/mplayer/
4. 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
