You can take the MPlayer source code from the address: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html  

Also it is necessary to download the source code of LiveMedia: http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public/

Compile the LiveMedia code: 
 <nowiki>$./genMakefiles linux
$make</nowiki>

Next you must configure MPlayer before compilation, by telling it where the LiveMedia Code we just made is located. This command looks like:
 <nowiki>$./configure --with-livelibdir=/home/*yourusername+/*path_to_where_you_placed_the_LiveMedia_Files/live --enable-live</nowiki>

Now compile:
 <nowiki>$make</nowiki>

If the compilation completes without errors, the executable files mplayer and mencoder will be created in the current directory. You can install MPlayer and all users will be able to use it (you must have root privileges for this operation):
 <nowiki>#make install</nowiki>
