SUMMARY: Re: [Mplayer-users] Install linux mplayer as 'not-root' ??

[martin laurberg]

Hi everyone!
Thanks for the replys on installing mplayer without
root priviliges!
As suggested I configured using the --with-win32libdir
option 

1)  copying the file codecs.conf to
~/.mplayer/codecs.conf

2)  ./configure
--with-win32libdir=/home/martin/programs/mplayer/codecs

3) Changing top of Makefile to contain:

OWNER = martin
GROUP = martin
.
.
.
prefix = /home/martin/programs/mplayer/main
.
. 
Still I got complains that the file /etc/mplayer.conf
could not be found. I couldn't find this file anywhere
so I tried changing mplayer.c to point to a dummy
(empty) file in my directory (and recompiled).

When starting mplayer the film starts for 1 sec and
then stops... It looks like
a problem other AthlonTbird users have (??)...
