[MPlayer-users] Debian "testing" vlc install and mplayer svn

[hob4bit -]

Hi, I used to be a great fan of Knoppix 4.0.2 as it was very stable. The 
problem is that
Knoppix is a mixture of Srage, Etch and Sid. When it comes to things like 
building
or installing complex programs like MPlayer, Transcode and VLC depenencies
can get you into a mess. Besides Etch and Sid keep changing. All derivatives 
projects
like Knoppix, Kanotix and SImpleMEPIS seem to have this problem.

What I have done recently is install Ubuntu-6.06 using the livecd (desktop) 
version.
I just install MPlayer, Transcode and VLC without much trouble as they are 
all in
the Dapper reposy. If you like Debian then you may well like Ubuntu-6.06. 
Its
much more stable than all previous versions.

Form what I saw when I did a "svn export 
svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/ mplayer"
on 2006-06-08 the compiled "mplayer" does not require installing new 
libraries. You
just need to copy "mplayer" and "mencoder" to "/usr/local/bin". I just used 
existing
libraries.
