Installation

1. Download the latest mplayer source with svn:

   
   % svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
   
   

2. Update the source, just in case.

   
   % cd mplayer
   % svn update
   
   

3. Then do the usual:

   
   % ./configure --prefix=/util/mplayer-2011-09-21 --enable-gui
   % make
   # make install
   
   

4. Install at least one skin to the skins directory.

   
   [lethe] mplayer% cd /util/mplayer-2011-09-21/share/mplayer/skins/
   [lethe] skins% ls
   Blue  default
   
   

5. Make this version our default mplayer.

   
   % cd /util
   # rm mplayer
   # ln -s mplayer-2011-09-21 mplayer
