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.
Typical error you get when building with solaris' make instead of GNU
make:
% /usr/ccs/bin/make
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 122: Unexpected end of line seen
3. You also need the GNU assembler; and 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.
Use the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell
configure where it can find GNU as on your system.
Typical error you get when building with a GNU C compiler that does
not use GNU as:
% gmake
...
gcc -c -Iloader -Ilibvo -O4 -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -ffast-math
-fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/local/include -o mplayer.o mplayer.c
Assembler: mplayer.c
"<stdin>", line 3567 : Illegal mnemonic
"<stdin>", line 3567 : Syntax error
... more "Illegal mnemonic" and "Syntax error" errors ...
4. For DVD support you must have the patched libcss installed. Patch:
http://www.tools.de/solaris/mplayer/
5. 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
