I've been trying to build and install mplayer, but something appears
to be messed up in its "Options" menu at the start of the build. It's
mplayer 0.99.10_1, and the system is FreeBSD 6.1 on a Dell Inspiron XPS
(i.e., a P4 550 with 1 GB of memory and a 55.88 GB hard drive). At the
start of the process, a menu titled "Options for mplayer 0.99.10_1" appears,
but in damaged form. Cut and pasted from the xterm-color into a Putty
window, it looks like this:
lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk
x Options for mplayer 0.99.10_1 x
x lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk x
x x[ ] DEBUG Include debug symbols in mplayer's binary files x x
x x[X] RTCPU Let mplayer dynamically check for CPU features x x
x x[X] OCFLAGS Use optimized compiler flags x x
x x[X] MENCODER Support encoding of multimedia files x x
x x[X] IPV6 Include inet6 network support x x
x x[X] X11 Enable X11 support for mplayer's video output x x
x x[X] GUI Enable GTK2 graphical user interface with X11 x x
x x[ ] SDL Enable SDL video output x x
x x[X] VIDIX Enable VIDIX video output on supported archs x x
x x[ ] NVIDIA Enable experimental nvidia xvmc driver x x
x x[X] SKINS Force dependency on mplayer-skins x x
x x[X] FREETYPE Use freetype for OSD fonts (TrueType!) x x
x x[ ] RTC Add support for kernel real time clock timing x x
x x[ ] ARTS Enable KDE sound system support x x
x x[ ] ESOUND Enable GNOME
And that's as far as it goes. The debug line at the top is highlighted/
selected, and any keystrokes entered result in overwriting the text on
that line. The "Enable GNOME" line is black to the right of the word
"GNOME", and the rest of the xterm-color window below that line is black,
so there are no buttons/action choices at the bottom (e.g., select/proceed
or cancel/exit). A ctrl-C appears to be the best way to get out of it,
but I haven't found a way to change any of the options or to continue on
to build mplayer.
Does anyone know where to fetch a usable version of mplayer from? The
one in the ports tree is obviously corrupted.
