After reading about Linux users watching ASCII video, I decided to do the same on Solaris. I wanted to by able to watch the video in my Cygwin rxvt terminal over ssh. It was a bit tricky, as I'm not running X. But that's kinda the point of ASCII - you shouldn't need an X Server.
I was able to get it work with gcc 4.3.0, creating 32 bit binaries on Solaris 10 x86. The following were my config flags.
<geshi lang="bash"> tar xvf libcaca-0.99.beta16.tar.gz.tar export LIBS="-lsocket -lnsl" ./configure --prefix=${HOME} --disable-ruby --disable-x11 --enable-ncurses
tar xvf aalib-1-1.4rc4.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=${HOME} --with-x11-driver=no
make install
- I had to change some of the infinity values. The Solaris macros return a function, so putting the function in parens seems to help.
vi nellymoserenc.c vi libmpcodecs/ve_lavc.c export LIBS="-lsocket -lnsl -laa" make clean && bash ./configure --disable-3dnow --prefix=${HOME}/mplayer --disable-xvr100 --enable-caca --enable-aa --disable-x11 && make </geshi>
<geshi lang="bash"> $ mplayer/bin/mplayer -vo caca Flight\ of\ the\ Conchords\ in\ 4\ Minutes.m4v </geshi>
