FFMPEG 2.5 seems to have finally retired the deprecated libavutil/intfloat_readwrite.h functions. These functions are called in ebml.c which is included with mplayer. In particular, ebml.c calls av_int2flt & av_int2dbl which have been replaced with av_int2float & av_int2double, respectively. I have created a patch which updates the include to use libavutil/intfloat.h & libavutil/intreadwrite.h in place of libavutil/intfloat_readwrite.h, and likewise replace the old calls with the new ones. After applying the patch, mplayer builds cleanly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ffmpeg-2.5 2. emerge mplayer-1.2_pre20130729 Actual Results: mplayer fails to build: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -MMD -MP -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -std=gnu99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -I. -Iffmpeg -O2 -march=native -pipe -fno-tree-vectorize -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -fpie -DPIC -D_REENTRANT -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/freetype2 -c -o libmpdemux/extension.o libmpdemux/extension.c libmpdemux/ebml.c:31:42: fatal error: libavutil/intfloat_readwrite.h: No such file or directory #include "libavutil/intfloat_readwrite.h" ^ compilation terminated. Makefile:758: recipe for target 'libmpdemux/ebml.o' failed make: *** [libmpdemux/ebml.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Expected Results: mplayer builds successfully. I assume this will impact previous versions of mplayer, but I did not back test it or my patch.
Created attachment 391746 [details, diff] Updates ebml.c with current functions
So right after I tested my patch I noticed mplayer-1.2_pre20141011.ebuild exists and is masked. I went ahead, unmasked mplayer-1.2_pre20141011 and it builds fine with ffmpeg 2.5. Looking at ebml.c, it seems it already has the same logic the patch I just submitted has. So perhaps instead of including the ebml patch, we can instead update the ffmpeg 2.5 mask warning to indicate mplayer-1.2_pre20141011 or later is necessary.
