#INSTALL MPLAYER FOR MAC MAC OS X#
I am covering a wide base now including Linux and Mac OS X so I will occasionally have a certain step branch for a bit into separate Mac OS X and Linux sections.Ī. This is by far the most detailed step and difficult if you have little computer knowledge. I won't go too detailed otherwise this guide will become too long. You might also want SDL to allow for extra video output methods.
#INSTALL MPLAYER FOR MAC INSTALL#
Fontconfig is helpful for dealing with subtitles so I recommend you install it. There is a vast list of optional stuff you can install to allow for extra functionality. To check your version of freetype run 'freetype-config -ftversion' in a Terminal. Make sure your freetype version is 2.0.9 or higher. Find and install the associated developer tools for your distribution (gcc, make, etc.). On Linux there is very little you have to do.
#INSTALL MPLAYER FOR MAC UPDATE#
If you are not sure on something ask in a reply and I will update this guide.Ī. Because of the vast number of different distributions out there I will have to be somewhat vague. Installing MPlayer on Linux is vastly easier than on Mac OS X just because it was designed for compiling your own software. Download and install the latest version of these prebuilt SVN packages from here (unless you already have it). SVN (subversion) is needed to download the MPlayer source from the SVN repository. Without the extras they will be plain white with no specific font.ġ. This includes allowing you to see styled subtitles in. Following is a single requirement to download mplayer and and some highly recommended things to install before installing MPlayer that will allow for extra functionality of MPlayer. You now have the full set of tools required to compile and install MPlayer. You will need to reboot your computer after installation. Click Install and be prepared to wait a while. Any other packages that were already selected should be left selected. You want to select "Developer Tools Software" "Mac OS X SDK" "BSD SDK" and "X11 SDK". Click through the dialog windows until you get to the package selection screen. Insert the disk and double click on "Developer.mpkg" or something similar to that. Depending on your version the name may differ. Find the "XCode Tools" or "Developer Tools" disk. You should find the install disks that came with your system or your current version of Mac OS X.
I will say (optional) for sections that are not absolutely necessary but only recommended.Ī. This is a guide for a complete installation of MPlayer. This is one time when Mac or Linux beats out Windows in something Windows does not have. The only problem is that Windows users do not have the handy use of a unix shell ready at their fingertips. Windows users have a huge menagerie of players but MPlayer I would still say outranks them. You don't know what MPlayer is? MPlayer is by far the best player for video files on Mac OS X or Linux. The path to install mplayer is slightly different for both so I will have a Mac Section and a Linux section and then the final section which will be the same for both platforms. Here is a guide for all you newbies out there who don't know enough about computers to do compile MPlayer yourselves.
