[MPlayer-users] Attention: Ross Lippert and Attila

[Ross Lippert]

Here here.  That's less confusing.  It is still a bit vague about
just what dirs where to copy.  Perhaps a line like
   cp -r ffmpeg/libavcodec mplayer/main
or
   cp ffmpeg/libavcodec/* mplayer/main/libavcodec
   cp ffmpeg/libavcodec/i386/* mplayer/main/libavcodec/i386

and forget about trying to say the same thing in imprecise words.


-r

Ross Lippert and Attila,
			This is in response to 
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2002-May/014876.html

	How about something like this for the README of libavcodec ->

The files in the libavcodec directory of the mplayer/main tree were
obsoleted, and have been removed entirely from the mplayer cvs server.

They are now available as a separate module from a different cvs server,
 cvs.ffmpeg.sourceforge.net, which is the cvs server for the FFmpeg
project. From cvs.ffmpeg.sourceforge.net, the user will need to checkout
the up-to-date 'libavcodec' directory.

Checkout this to a separate directory, and then copy the contents
(including it's subdir i386; libac3 and mpglib are not required as
they are not used) of that directory here.

Warning! ln -s (symlink) is NOT enough. you have to move/copy it.

FFmpeg CVS:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.ffmpeg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ffmpeg login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.ffmpeg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ffmpeg co
ffmpeg/libavcodec

Note: if you copy with CVS subdirs, next time it's enough to do 'cvs
update'.
