<span class="application">MPlayer</span> has been ported to a number of commercial
3
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
5
adjustments to make the build work.

To build the package you will need GNU <span class="application">make</span>
22
(<tt class="filename">gmake</tt>, <tt class="filename">/opt/sfw/gmake</tt>), native
23
Solaris make will not work. Typical error you get when building with
24
Solaris' make instead of GNU make:

30
On Solaris SPARC, you need the GNU C/C++ Compiler; it does not matter if
31
GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler.
33
On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++ compiler,
34
configured to use the GNU assembler! The <span class="application">MPlayer</span>
35
code on the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW! instructions
36
that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler <tt class="filename">/usr/ccs/bin/as</tt>.
38
The <tt class="filename">configure</tt> script tries to find out, which
39
assembler program is used by your "gcc" command (in case the autodetection
40
fails, use the <tt class="option">--as=<em class="replaceable"><code>/wherever/you/have/installed/gnu-as</code></em></tt>

Due to bugs in Solaris 8, you may not be able to play DVD discs larger than 4 GB:
67
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
68
The sd(7D) driver on Solaris 8 x86 has a bug when accessing a disk block >4GB
69
on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE (i.e. CD-ROM and DVD media).
70
Due to a 32Bit int overflow, a disk address modulo 4GB is accessed
71
(<a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516" target="_top">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516</a>).
72
This problem does not exist in the SPARC version of Solaris 8.
74
A similar bug is present in the hsfs(7FS) filesystem code (AKA ISO9660),
75
hsfs may not not support partitions/disks larger than 4GB, all data is
77
(<a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22592" target="_top">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22592</a>).
78
The hsfs problem can be fixed by installing patch 109764-04 (sparc) / 109765-04 (x86).

You can either try to install the GNU install program, and (if you did
81
not put it in your global path) then point to the location with:
82
</p><pre class="screen">./configure --with-install=<em class="replaceable"><code>/path/and/name/of/install</code></em></pre><p>
84
Or you can use the default install delivered with IRIX 6.5 in which case
85
you will have to edit the <tt class="filename">Makefile</tt> by hand a little bit.
86
Change the following two lines:
87
</p><pre class="programlisting">
88
$(INSTALL) -c -m 644 DOCS/mplayer.1 $(MANDIR)/man1/mplayer.1
90
$(INSTALL) -c -m 644 etc/codecs.conf $(CONFDIR)/codecs.conf
93
</p><pre class="programlisting">
94
$(INSTALL) -m 644 mplayer.1 $(MANDIR)/man1/
96
$(INSTALL) -m 644 codecs.conf $(CONFDIR)/
98
And then do (from within the <span class="application">MPlayer</span> source dir):
99
</p><pre class="screen">cp DOCS/mplayer.1 . ; cp etc/codecs.conf .</pre><p>
100
and then go on with building and installing.

Joe Page hosts a detailed HP-UX <span class="application">MPlayer</span>
103
<a href="http://users.rcn.com/joepage/mplayer_on_hpux11.htm" target="_top">HOWTO</a>
104
by Martin Gansser on his homepage. With these instructions the build should
105
work out of the box. The following information is taken from this HOWTO.
107
You need GCC 3.4.0 or later, GNU make 3.80 or later and SDL 1.2.7 or later.
108
HP cc will not produce a working program, prior GCC versions are buggy.
109
For OpenGL functionality you need to install Mesa and the gl and gl2 video
110
output drivers should work, speed may be very bad, depending on the CPU speed,
111
though. A good replacement for the rather poor native HP-UX sound system is
114
Create the DVD device
115
scan the SCSI bus with:

Below are solutions for some common problems:
142
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
143
Crash at Start with the following error message:
144
</p><pre class="screen">
145
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: finite (code) from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00/3.2/../../../libGL.sl
148
This means that the function <code class="systemitem">.finite().</code> is not
149
available in the standard HP-UX math library.
150
Instead there is <code class="systemitem">.isfinite().</code>.
151
Solution: Use the latest Mesa depot file.
153
Crash at playback with the following error message:
154
</p><pre class="screen">
155
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: sem_init (code) from /usr/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.sl.0
158
Solution: Use the extralibdir option of configure
159
<tt class="option">--with-extralibdir="/usr/lib -lrt"</tt>
161
MPlayer segfaults with a message like this:
162
</p><pre class="screen">
163
Pid 10166 received a SIGSEGV for stack growth failure.
164
Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space, or stack size exceeded maxssiz.
169
The HP-UX kernel has a default stack size of 8MB(?) per process.(11.0 and
170
newer 10.20 patches let you increase <code class="systemitem">maxssiz</code> up to
171
350MB for 32-bit programs). You need to extend <code class="systemitem">maxssiz</code>
172
and recompile the kernel (and reboot). You can use SAM to do this. (While at
173
it, check out the <code class="systemitem">maxdsiz</code> parameter for the maximum
174
amount of data a program can use. It depends on your applications, if the
175
default of 64MB is enough or not.)
