xine
----------------------
a free video player
building xine on solaris
------------------------
* The preferred make command to compile xine is GNU make (gmake,
/opt/sfw/bin/gmake).
Sun's make (/usr/ccs/bin/make, or dmake) may work, too.
* On Solaris x86: When xine-lib code is build using GCC as the compiler,
xine-lib tries to use MMX/SSE/3DNOW! instructions of x86 CPUs, which
may not assemble using Solaris' /usr/ccs/bin/as.
Make sure to use the GNU assembler as the assembler backend for the
GNU C compiler and as a standalone assembler command.
A quick workaround when using the GCC from Sun's
"Software Companion" CD is to replace /usr/ccs/bin/as with a
link to GNU as, for example like this:
cd /usr/ccs/bin
ln -s /opt/sfw/bin/gas gnu-as
mv as sun-as
ln -s gnu-as as
(Use "ln -s gnu-as as" or "ln -s sun-as as" to switch between the
two assemblers)
* To get VIS accelerated video decoding and colour space conversion
on Solaris SPARC with an UltraSPARC cpu, download and install Sun's
mediaLib 2.0 before compiling xine. mediaLib is available here:
http://www.sun.com/sparc/vis/mediaLib.html
Known Problems
--------------
* Can't use MIT shared memory for local video display
The default value for the maximum allowed shared memory segment size
(1MByte) and the number of allowed shared memory segments (6)
is very small on solaris. You may want to increase both parameters.
Add the following lines to /etc/system to increase the shmmax parameter
to 8MBytes and the shmseg parameter to at least 32 [*]:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=8388608
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=32
Reboot the machine after modifying /etc/system to activate the new
shared memory defaults.
[*] Note: 15 shared memory segments is the minimum requirement for
xine's "XShm" video output plugin; 32 gives a bit of extra room
for other applications. The GUI frontend might need more
shared memory segments, see below.
* Warnings from xine-ui, when playlist / control / mrl browser panel
is opened (and broken skin image elements in these panels):
xiTK WARNING: X error received: 'BadShmSeg (invalid shared
segment parameter)'
xiTK WARNING: X error received: 'BadAccess (attempt to access
private resource denied)'
xiTK WARNING: XShmAttach() failed.
xine-ui tries to use even more shared memory segments for skin
images.
Workaround: The problem can be avoided with one of
- create a text file $HOME/.xitkrc (or /etc/xitkrc) and add the
following line into it
feature.shm = 0
- configure and build xine-ui with option "--disable-shm" or
"--disable-shm-default"
- increase shmsys:shminfo_shmseg to at least 768
* When using an 8-bit display, xine aborts with the error message:
IMLIB ERROR: Cannot Find Palette. A Palette is required for this mode
Unable to initialize Imlib
xine expects an installed Imlib package, installed using the "prefix" /
xine is looking for the global Imlib config file in /etc/imrc.
If you have the solaris 8 companion CD installed, an Imlib package is
already installed on your system, but it uses the "prefix" /opt/sfw.
To work around the problem:
- install a symbolic link /etc/imrc, pointing to /opt/sfw/etc/imrc
(needs root permission)
# ln -s /opt/sfw/etc/imrc /etc
or
- install an ".imrc" file in your home directory,
with the following contents:
PaletteFile /opt/sfw/etc/im_palette.pal
* On Solaris x86, you cannot reliably play DVDs using a capacity >4GB:
The sd(7D) driver on solaris x86 has a bug when accessing a disk
block >4GB on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE (i.e.
CDROM and DVD media). Due to a 32bit int overflow, a disk address
modulo 4GB is accessed.
There's no workaround available.
