ATTN: Trouble with installing Mplayer and Mencoder from ports collection.

F

freescottsthoughts

cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer

I have just used "portsnap fetch" and "portsnap extract" and have the latest and greatest!
I also have the same problem with Mencoder with broken or bad dependices.

How can i install mencoder and mplayer on FreeBSD with no problems. Trying to install
phpmotion.com software and here are their system requirements. I imagine alot of people have had this same problem. http://phpmotion.com/content/view/16/32/

Here is the attempt to install mplayer below...

Code: 
awk -f /sys/conf/kmod_syms.awk rtc.ko  export_syms | xargs -J% objcopy % rtc.ko
objcopy --strip-debug rtc.ko
===>  Installing for rtc-2004.02.24.1_8
===>   rtc-2004.02.24.1_8 depends on file: /compat/linux/etc/fedora-release - not found
===>    Verifying install for /compat/linux/etc/fedora-release in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-f10
===>  linux_base-f10-10_2 linuxulator is not (kld)loaded.

My guess is you enabled every option in the port's config screen, some of which include Linux options. For those to work you need to enable the Linux kernel module before installing the Linux compatibility layer.

If you don't need every single option of the port, just install it with the defaults:

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
make rmconfig
make clean install clean (simply 'Ok' to accept the default options)

If you do need all of the Linux stuff, put
Code: 
linux_enable="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf, run # kldload linux, put
Code: 
linproc			/usr/compat/linux/proc	linprocfs rw,noatime	0	0
in /etc/fstab, run # mount linprocfs and build the port again.

Only do all of this if you need the Linux stuff in mplayer, which is usually not the case.
