I tried to emerge mplayer-1.0_pre5-r2 my machine yesterday, but comp[ilation failed. After trying some things, I found out that the breakage was caused by the USE flag 'noaudio' in mplayer's dependency libsdl. When this flag is enabled, mplayer compilation breaks with this log: --- START COMPILE LOG --- make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mplayer-1.0_pre5-r2/work/MPlayer-1.0pre5/libmenu' gcc -I../libvo -I../../libvo -I/usr/X11R6/include -O4 -march=pentium3 -mcpu=pentium3 -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -Ilibmpdemux -Iloader -Ilibvo -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o mplayer mplayer.o mp_msg.o cpudetect.o codec-cfg.o spudec.o playtree.o playtreeparser.o asxparser.o vobsub.o subreader.o sub_cc.o find_sub.o m_config.o m_option.o parser-cfg.o m_struct.o unrarlib.o mixer.o parser-mpcmd.o libvo/libvo.a libao2/libao2.a libmenu/libmenu.a vidix/libvidix.a Gui/libgui.a libmpcodecs/libmpcodecs.a mp3lib/libMP3.a liba52/liba52.a libmpeg2/libmpeg2.a loader/libloader.a loader/dshow/libDS_Filter.a loader/dmo/libDMO_Filter.a libaf/libaf.a libmpdemux/libmpdemux.a input/libinput.a postproc/libswscale.a osdep/libosdep.a libavcodec/libavcodec.a -lmad -lvorbis -logg -ldv -lfaad -ldivxdecore -lmp3lame -lvorbis -logg -lxvidcore -lm -lpng -lz -lz -ljpeg -lasound -ldl -lpthread /usr/lib/libxmms.so.1 -export-dynamic -lfreetype -lz -lungif -lsmbclient -lfontconfig -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -L/usr/lib -lglib -lGL -lXxf86dga -lXv -lXxf86vm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lX11 -lnsl -lnsl -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lvgagl -lvga -lm -L/usr/lib -lesd -laudiofile -lm -lasound -lpthread -ldl -rdynamic -lm libao2/libao2.a(ao_sdl.o)(.text+0x15f): In function `init': : undefined reference to `SDL_OpenAudio' libao2/libao2.a(ao_sdl.o)(.text+0x1f2): In function `init': : undefined reference to `SDL_PauseAudio' libao2/libao2.a(ao_sdl.o)(.text+0x39b): In function `outputaudio': : undefined reference to `SDL_MixAudio' libao2/libao2.a(ao_sdl.o)(.text+0x4c7): In function `uninit': : undefined reference to `SDL_CloseAudio' libao2/libao2.a(ao_sdl.o)(.text+0x62b): In function `audio_pause': : undefined reference to `SDL_PauseAudio' libao2/libao2.a(ao_sdl.o)(.text+0x64b): In function `audio_resume': : undefined reference to `SDL_PauseAudio' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status distcc[9231] ERROR: compile on localhost failed make: *** [mplayer] Error 1 !!!
