mplayer compile, no config.mak

V11.3

I downloaded mplayer with

su -c “rpm -Uvh http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/rpm/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-1.i386.rpm

and did

make

and got

Makefile:22: config.mak: No such file or directory
make: *** osdep/: Is a directory. Stop.

Where do I download config.mak ?

What you typed makes no sense to me. What are you trying to achieve by typing make in no particular directory ?

Typically you need the ‘base-developement pattern’ if you wish to build apps, and you need to navigate to the directory where a tarball has been untar’d and only then, if there is an appropriate install file, after ./configure, does one type make. I have no idea as to what you are doing here. Perhaps you could enlighten us ?

This is complete nonsense

Sorry, I missed step 2,

./configure

OK, but your first post still makes no sense. You stated:

That rpm command does not download mplayer. Instead it installs from the videolan repository the rpm libdvdcss2 which is NOT mplayer. …

Confused totally I am.

at least i am not the only one confused ???
dvdcss from vlc and then build mplayer with a libdvdcss rpm ???
