On testing, it turns out that mplayer has such a broken build system that half the --enable-foo options break the build, so my suggested change won't work. Details: mplayer has a hand-written configure script instead of using autoconf. One of the "features" of this script is skipping checks for --enabled options. Unfortunately, the checks are in charge of doing things like passing the correct libraries to the linker, so if you actually use flags like --enable-x11 mplayer omits needed libraries and fails to build. |
