Hello! |
| 16 |
You can't install win32codecs if you are on a 64 bits system, because |
| 17 |
like the name says, there are 32 bits libraries. |
| 18 |
If you want to use it, you have to use 32 bits compiled software. For |
| 19 |
example, you can't use win32codecs with media-video/mplayer, because you |
| 20 |
compile it for 64 bits, but you can use media-video/mplayer-bin, a |
| 21 |
binary compiled for 32 bits. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So, emerge -av mplayer-bin and you can view videos with win32codecs. |

Good Bye! |
