HOWTO: mplayerplug-in 3.11 for Hoary

[WebbyBabe]

Okay, i figured out that what i had to do was uninstall xdm and reinstall, but now I get this error when I type 'make'

cp Source/nsIScriptableMplayerPlugin.xpt mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt
make -C po
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/webby/mplayerplug-in/po'
msgfmt -o da.mo da.po
make[1]: msgfmt: Command not found
make[1]: *** [da.mo] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/webby/mplayerplug-in/po'
make: *** [languages] Error 2

do this:

sudo apt-get install xview-clients

and try again

Nope. I still get the same error when typing make.

[jeremytaylor]

ahah! figured it out. Needed to copy all the .so and .xpt files to the plugins and components directory.

i.e.
replace the commands

sudo cp mplayerplug-in.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
sudo cp mplayerplug-in.xpt /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/components
sudo cp mplayerplug-in.types /etc
sudo cp mplayerplug-in.conf /etc

with

sudo cp mplayerplug-in.*so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
sudo cp mplayerplug-in*.xpt /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/components
sudo cp mplayerplug-in.types /etc
sudo cp mplayerplug-in.conf /etc

thanks for all the help.... it's so much better than the old mplayer plugin!

Can anyone help me? Why doi I keep getting this error?

cp Source/nsIScriptableMplayerPlugin.xpt mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt
make -C po
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/webby/mplayerplug-in/po'
msgfmt -o da.mo da.po
make[1]: msgfmt: Command not found
make[1]: *** [da.mo] Error 127

I even went as far as uninstalling and reinstalling Breezy.

do a:

sudo apt-get install gettext

and then do a configure and make again.
gettext contains msgfmt which make cannot find in your compilation.

thanks! That got rid of the error, but the videos won't play after the install. I restarted firefox and had no luck.
