Wow, thanks. This message about pidgin.spec set me on the right track for building totem.spec. I -HATE- totem using gstreamer and wanted to recompile it for use with xinelib. I could not get it done. But with this message I was able to compile SUNWgnome-media-player.spec. I changed ./base-specs/totem.spec to have '--enable-xine' The normal "pkgtool build .." errors out, but a "pkgbuild -bc specfile" configures and compiles the software. After that a manual change to the totem directory followed by a "gmake install" installed a new totem using xinelib. Yes! Almost done... All that was left was make a symlink from /usr/lib/mplayer/codecs to /usr/lib/codecs and now Quicktime movies and Windows media is played by totem too. This is how I like it. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D ++ http://nagual.nl/ + SunOS sxce snv99 ++
