<span class="application">MPlayer</span> has been ported to a number of commercial

Unix variants. Since the development environments on these systems tend to be
4
different from those found on free Unixes, you may have to make some manual

Solaris still has broken, POSIX-incompatible system tools and shell in default

locations. Until a bold step out of the computing stone age is made, you will

On Solaris SPARC, you need the GNU C/C++ Compiler; it does not matter if
39
GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler.
41
On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++ compiler,
42
configured to use the GNU assembler! The <span class="application">MPlayer</span>
43
code on the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW! instructions

116
by Martin Gansser on his homepage. With these instructions the build should
117
work out of the box. The following information is taken from this HOWTO.
119
You need GCC 3.4.0 or later and SDL 1.2.7 or later.
120
HP cc will not produce a working program, prior GCC versions are buggy.
121
For OpenGL functionality you need to install Mesa and the gl and gl2 video
122
output drivers should work, speed may be very bad, depending on the CPU speed,
123
though. A good replacement for the rather poor native HP-UX sound system is

180
The HP-UX kernel has a default stack size of 8MB(?) per process.(11.0 and
181
newer 10.20 patches let you increase <code class="systemitem">maxssiz</code> up to
182
350MB for 32-bit programs). You need to extend
183
<code class="systemitem">maxssiz</code> and recompile the kernel (and reboot).
184
You can use SAM to do this.
185
(While at it, check out the <code class="systemitem">maxdsiz</code> parameter for
186
the maximum amount of data a program can use.
187
It depends on your applications, if the default of 64MB is enough or not.)

Sound via the Ultimedia Services is not supported, as Ultimedia was
204
dropped in AIX 5.1; therefore, the only option is to use the AIX Open

<a class="ulink" href="http://www.opensound.com/aix.html" target="_top">http://www.opensound.com/aix.html</a>.
207
4Front Technologies freely provides OSS drivers for AIX 5.1 for
208
non-commercial use; however, there are currently no sound output
209
drivers for AIX 5.2 or 5.3. This means <span class="bold"><strong>AIX 5.2
