Hi Christian, hi All On a Powerbook5,8:
Please note that with the official Debian repositories in the sources.list a build-dep for mplayer does not work at all: ------------------ # apt-get build-dep mplayer Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Build-dependencies for mplayer could not be satisfied ----------------- So I wrote http://debian.netcologne.de/debian-multimedia.org to apt sources.list to make the following work (I attach /etc/apt/sources.list, just in case i messed that up ..) So all the following is valid for having http://debian.netcologne.de/debian-multimedia.org in the sources.list Now: When trying to install the necessary packages to be able to compile mplayer (apt-get build-dep mplayer), apt-get wants libgl1-mesa-swx11 and libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev getting installed and libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx to be removed. The removal of the latter 2 packages seems a bad idea, as it will remove direct rendering on my machine, thus making the system slow - provided I understood things correctly. The most usable hints I got, about what is wrong, was when i tried to install libgl1-mesa-swx11 directly (the following output slightly edited for better readability): ---------------- # dpkg -i libgl1-mesa-swx11_7.0.3-6_powerpc.deb dpkg: regarding libgl1-mesa-swx11_7.0.3-6_powerpc.deb containing libgl1-mesa-swx11: libgl1-mesa-swx11 conflicts with libgl1 libgl1-mesa-glx provides libgl1 and is present and installed. ---------------- Problem seems to be the link /usr/lib/libGL.so.1, which is installed by both libgl1-mesa-swx11 and libgl1-mesa-glx. I found a trick how to keep libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx while installing the dependencies for mplayer. It seems a little weird and unsafe to me, so I refrained from actually using it so far: -------------------- # dpkg -i libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev_7.0.3-6_powerpc.deb Selecting previously deselected package libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev. (Reading database ... 113067 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev (from libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev_7.0.3-6_powerpc.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev: libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev depends on libgl1-mesa-swx11 (= 7.0.3-6); however: Package libgl1-mesa-swx11 is not installed. libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev depends on libx11-dev; however: Package libx11-dev is not installed. libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev depends on mesa-common-dev (= 7.0.3-6); however: Package mesa-common-dev is not installed. dpkg: error processing libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev --------------------- After that the system reports libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev being installed: ---------------- $ apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev: Installed: 7.0.3-6 Candidate: 7.0.3-6 [ ... ] ---------------- And now - when trying to build-dep mplayer - the install system does not try to remove libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx, but libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev instead: -------------------------- # apt-get build-dep mplayer Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting libdv4-dev instead of libdv-dev The following packages will be REMOVED: libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: ccache cpp-4.2 diffstat em8300-headers g++-4.2 gcc-4.2 ladspa-sdk libaa1-dev libamrnb-dev libamrwb-dev libartsc0-dev libasound2-dev libatk1.0-dev libaudio-dev libaudiofile-dev libavahi-client-dev libavahi-common-dev libcaca-dev libcairo2-dev libcdparanoia0-dev libdbus-1-dev libdirectfb-dev libdts-dev libdv4-dev libdvdnav-dev libdvdread-dev libesd0-dev libexpat1-dev libfaac-dev libfaad-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libfribidi-dev libggi-target-x libggi2 libggi2-dev libggimisc2 libggimisc2-dev libgif-dev libgii1 libgii1-dev libgii1-target-x libgl1-mesa-dev libglib2.0-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libgtk2.0-dev libice-dev libjack-dev libjpeg62-dev liblircclient-dev liblircclient0 liblivemedia-dev liblzo2-dev libmad0-dev libmp3lame-dev libmpcdec-dev libmpeg3-dev libncurses5-dev libogg-dev libopenal-dev libopenal1 libpango1.0-dev libpixman-1-dev libpng12-dev libpopt-dev libpthread-stubs0 libpthread-stubs0-dev libpulse-browse0 libpulse-dev libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libsdl1.2-dev libslang2-dev libsm-dev libsmbclient-dev libspeex-dev libstdc++6-4.2-dev libsysfs-dev libtheora-dev libtwolame-dev libtwolame0 libungif4-dev libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libx264-dev libxau-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-xlib0-dev libxcb1-dev libxcomposite-dev libxcursor-dev libxdamage-dev libxdmcp-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxft-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libxml2-utils libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libxt-dev libxv-dev libxvidcore4-dev libxvmc-dev libxxf86dga-dev libxxf86vm-dev mesa-common-dev pkg-config quilt vstream-client-dev x11proto-composite-dev x11proto-core-dev x11proto-damage-dev x11proto-fixes-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-render-dev x11proto-video-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xf86dga-dev x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev xtrans-dev zlib1g-dev The following packages will be upgraded: fontconfig-config libfontconfig1 libncurses5 3 upgraded, 126 newly installed, 1 to remove and 12 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 36.1MB of archives. After this operation, 122MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n Abort. ------------------------------- Clearly: I don't get the above. So how do I safely install the dependencies for mplayer without removing DRI on my system? Thanks in anticipation. Best Regards Wolfgang -- heelsbroke.blogspot.com
