Hi again 2010/1/21 Carl Eugen Hoyos <cehoyos at ag.or.at>: > So what is your configure line? I put it in my first post (this is the standard configure line used to compile mplayer on Ubuntu) ./configure --enable-runtime-cpudetection --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer --mandir=/usr/share/man --win32codecsdir=/usr/lib/win32 --enable-largefiles --enable-smb --enable-ftp --enable-cdparanoia --enable-radio --enable-lirc --enable-joystick --enable-xf86keysym --disable-tremor-internal --enable-musepack --enable-speex --enable-libvorbis --enable-mad --enable-mp3lib --enable-theora --enable-libdv --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-tv-v4l2 --enable-alsa --enable-ossaudio --enable-esd --enable-pulse --enable-nas --enable-xinerama --enable-menu --enable-xv --enable-vm --enable-gl --enable-xmga --enable-mga --enable-3dfx --enable-tdfxfb --enable-sdl --enable-aa --enable-caca --enable-dxr3 --enable-xvmc --with-xvmclib=XvMCW --enable-ggi --enable-fbdev --disable-ivtv --enable-freetype --enable-gif --enable-png --enable-jpeg --enable-liblzo --enable-fribidi --enable-ladspa --enable-vdpau --enable-ass --enable-debug=3 --enable-gui --enable-mencoder I just tried on another machine ; installed the source code I had checked out in December. compiled it ; all fine make distclean svn update configure as above -lfribidi is missing from config.mak in this second run.
