Hi Bill,Juha , Josh and pabola Thanks for all your feedback, It gave the best insight and understanding. This is what I did , because even after I had removed the quick time using make config on win32-codecs directory It was giving me some more errors it it could not find file while downloading(when I issued make install in /usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs), so I went ahead and downloaded manually download win32-codecs.tar.gz file from ports directory http://freebsd.org/ports/multimedia website, replaced with this new win32-codecs. That made the rest of mplayer successful. Then I bumped into the issue of sound /dev/dsp error I fixed with reading the http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html( this I felt is the good help for anyone having sound issues) did that # sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 # sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 took care of the sound issue. (does anyone know how automatically download the current specific port, I know portupgrade -a runs, but it runs endlessly forever) Thanks Dak On 1/4/07, Bill Moran <wmoran@collaborativefusion.com> wrote: > > "Juha Saarinen" <juhasaarinen@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On 1/4/07, Dak Ghatikachalam <dghatikachalam@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Dear Freebsd > > > > > > I was trying to make mplayer and it spat me on error, win32 > -codecs, > > > and went on trying the clean up the win32-codecs and try to make the > codecs, > > > it still errored out > > > > > > Has anyone faced the same issue, Please share your thoughts. > > > > > > I am scratching my head, what I should doing about this. > > > > Waiting until the remote code execution security hole is plugged would > > seem to be a sensible thing: > > > > "The Apple Security Team reports that there are multiple > > vulnerabilities within QuickTime (one of the plugins for > > win32-codecs).
