gnome-mplayer

[OU812]

Hello. Would someone be interested in packaging gnome-mplayer? It's a gtk front-end to mplayer. It features a single-window layout and has rudimentary menu navigation as well.

Source
http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/ ... 0.0.tar.gz

I know that smplayer is in the repo, as is gxine, but I'd prefer to use mplayer with a gtk front-end. Thanks for considering!

While your waiting,try this

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-src -update
root[rich]# slapt-src -install gnome-mplayer

Thanks.

Tried your suggestion but got an error:

Failed to open slackbuilds_data for reading
Unable to find all specified slackbuilds.

I'm guessing I have to edit my repos or learn to use slackbuild. Can you give me some hints, please? Thanks.

There should be nothing more than executing the two lines that i gave you. You do need to be root. It works here on two of my machines with the following slapt-src config file (named slapt-srcrc). I made no changes, this is the default file.

Code: Select all

root[rich]# cat /etc/slapt-get/slapt-srcrc
# preferred mirror

BUILDDIR=/usr/src/slapt-src
PKGEXT=txz
root[rich]#

I entered

slapt-src update

Oops.

I now have gnome-mplayer installed (but I did need to become root to install the final package). I also used this method to install a couple of other favorite apps: gnomad2 and abcde. Thanks a lot!
