The port is ... messed up. It will try to fetch the wrong files - you need to remove the "-freebsd" from the various files to be fetched. Once that's done it built and installed okay. Not a big deal. You then need to manually set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as it needs a special library not in /compat/linux. Again - not a big deal. Once it's compiled I tried playing the trailer mpeg. Ugh - the sound was horrific (read noise and no actual discernible sounds). I'm using the regular sound drivers (snd0 and its associates). I thought maybe it needed Luigi's sound code so I recompiled the kernel to use it and removed the snd0 and associates. Afterwards I noticed immediately that for some reason sound only came out of the right speaker. Playing WAV files w/ splay was also strange as it would play a WAV file through like 1.5 times instead of just once. It would also sometimes play the previous WAV when a new one was chosen. Hmmm... I mucked around w/ it a bit and couldn't get it to play through both speakers so I gave up, moved kernel.old back to kernel and rebooted. I don't think I ever actually tried the trailer w/ Luigi's code though. That was dumb. :-P If anyone has success w/ this I'd be happy to hear about it (or if anyone knows why I was having strange results w/ Luigi's code).
