installing a deb package

installing a deb package

[Charles Hallenbeck]

I managed to create a "deb" package on my own system, and would like to 
install it. How do I do that?

It ought to be obvious, but it escapes me.

Hi.

Just type 

dpkg -i your_deb

as root replace your_deb with the name of the locally created Debian
package.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Kenny, and Sean too.

Okay, for the moment I have been able to build and install mplayer 
1.0-pre7 with the supplied debian script, with options to disable the 
gui and the auto detection of the CPU. But still I am not getting alsa 
support. Here is the list of audio output devices:

Available audio output drivers:
         mpegpes DVB audio output
         oss     OSS/ioctl audio output
         null    Null audio output
         pcm     RAW PCM/WAVE file writer audio output

Seems to me there were enough other improvements and bug fixes to 
justify using 1.0-pre7 over pre6, even if it means using the oss driver, 
so that is my current plan.

Now to see what kind of mileage I get with this baby.

Was there an enable-alsa or similar option in the configuration?  It may be
disabled by default, though one douldn't think so.  Also, you may be missing
libasound2-dev.  Try

apt-get install libasound2-dev

as this is the development libraries for alsa.  This will allow your source to
compile with alsa support.

That package was indeed missing, so I will now recompile and see what 
happens.
Just checked: With that package installed, alsa is autodetected! Hooray 
for our side!

Just curious what kind of improvements you felt necessitated using pre7 of
mplayer over pre6?

Well, for me, the web page mentions some security patches, and support for 
more file formats.  Also, it could play some of the Real Audio links that 
PRE6 bombed out on.

Re: installing a deb package

[Charles Hallenbeck]

The release announcement summarized the change.log and mentioned in 
several places "bug fixes all over the place", although most of the 
improvements seemed to be with respect to video performance, and 
improvements to the "mencoder" application. The fact is, mplayer is a 
dynamic product with very active development, and it would be a mistake 
to continue using a version with known bugs when one has a choice.
