The problem lies in the fact that mplayer (and mencoder, acutally) import the external variable 'font_fontconfig' from a different define variable than the variable is exported with in libvo/font_load_ft.c. The variable is only declared if HAVE_FREETYPE is configured - and while freetype may be configured and installed, its rejected without iconv support - yet fontconfig is still configured for use: Code: Checking for freetype >= 2.0.9 ... no (iconv support needed) Checking for fontconfig ... yes The problem lies in the fact that the font_fontconfig variable is declared in the libvo.a library if HAVE_FREETYPE is defined - but mplayer/mencoder declare its external existance if HAVE_FONTCONFIG exists.
Created attachment 77018 [details, diff] movs the font_fontconfig variable outside the HAVE_FREETYPE define requirement In reality, the font_fontconfig variable is never set beyond its initial value of 0. That whole requirement could be removed, however i was unsure if this was leftover bit-rot from preivous versions, or the infrastructure-setup of some additional font support. So i just moved the variable.
Brenden, Is this fixed in recent versions of mplayer (>=1.0_pre8)? Thanks
