I received an AVI file with a Jazz recording and thought, to not boot my notebook into Windows ME or 2k this time but fire up one of the FreeBSD video tools . Had I only booted into Windows, I would not be sitting here and write these lines :-) The odyssey started: locate divx (the file was using the divx codec) aha, /usr/ports/multimedia. compiled divex ah, it's only a library. Hmm, what player ? googled a bit. Time passes .. lets compile mpeg4ip Phew, look ma, SDL, gnome, gtk, yay. what's the binary, what's the binary, hell? ah, gmp4player fire up, open file. allright.avi Open error: /home/kuku/allright cannot be opened. Hmm. not saying why but probably doesn't like divx format. Lets try avifile. Port fails to build. fetch: avifile-0.7.18-20021107.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/avifile. Maybe my fault because ports my tree might be newer than FreeBSD version - didn't have time to sync that. sigh. I tried to cvs checkout avfile from sourcefourge, autogen, configure, cpu_flush.TPlo -fPIC -DPIC -o cpu_flush.lo In file included from cpu_flush.c:7: libdha.h:19: stdint.h: No such file or directory In file included from cpu_flush.c:8: kernelhelper/dhahelper.h:11: linux/ioctl.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/kuku/avifile/drivers/libdha. *** Error code 1 12:30, time for lunch ---- To make it short: roadmap to play a divx .AVI file under FreeBSD? -- Chris Christoph P.
