mplayer-1.0_pre3-r1.ebuild has a hard dependancy on divx4linux (at least on x86), while mplayer itself has no such hard dependancy, divx4linux support is optional. It's rather annoying since the latest version of mplayer requires a newer version of divx4linux which in turn requires libcompat (5.01 was presumably statically linked while 5.05 is dynamically linked against the glibc c++ support lib). I really can't be bothered to install libcompat. Besides, I'd rather not install too much binary-only proprietary-ware. So, here's a patch for the ebuild which adds a divx USE flag and if it's not set, passes --disable-divx4linux to ./configure Comments? --- /usr/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-1.0_pre3-r1.ebuild 2004-03-18 02:45:33.250152504 +0000 +++ /usr/local/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-1.0_pre3-r1.ebuild 2004-03-18 02:28:09.829776512 +0000 @@ -3,5 +3,5 @@ # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-1.0_pre3-r1.ebuild,v 1.2 2004/03/17 22:39:07 mholzer Exp $ -IUSE="dga oss xmms jpeg 3dfx sse matrox sdl X svga ggi oggvorbis 3dnow aalib gnome xv opengl truetype dvd gtk gif esd fbcon encode alsa directfb arts dvb gtk2 samba lirc matroska debug joystick" +IUSE="dga oss xmms jpeg 3dfx sse matrox sdl X svga ggi oggvorbis 3dnow aalib gnome xv opengl truetype dvd gtk gif esd fbcon encode alsa directfb arts dvb gtk2 samba lirc matroska debug joystick divx" inherit eutils @@ -27,5 +27,5 @@ amd64?
