MPlayer0.90rc3 compiling woes

[Guest krauskopf]

A couple months ago I compiled rc1, and it works flawlessly (well, it works). Some of you may be familiar with it's switching-out-of-fullscreen bug.

 

Anyway, I can't seem to compile rc3. This is the tail end of my make.

 

mpegaudiodec.c: In function `mp_decode_layer2':

mpegaudiodec.c:1536: internal error: Segmentation fault

Please submit a full bug report,

with preprocessed source if appropriate.

See <URL:https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/> for instructions.

make[1]: *** [mpegaudiodec.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/john/downloads/installers/mplayer/mplayer-0.90rc3/libavcodec'

make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2

[john@krauskopf mplayer-0.90rc3]$ gcc --version

gcc (GCC) 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)

 

 

Any tips? Anyone have success with this version?

 

Thanks.

thanks a lot!

 

just a few of the packages on mandrake discs were all i needed.

 

perhaps the mplayer ppl should work on their compiler error messages, or have ./configure tell you what you're missing, or just include that stuff in the readme

 

oh well i'm happy now.

 

thanks again

You're welcome.

That's what we're here for. The config messages do tell you what you need by the way. Yours was telling you for example that you needed libavcodec. You could have then search for that in google or rpmfind.net (which is how I usually find dependencies out- really useful when compiling something like kde) If you want to know more about compiling software and troubleshooting error messages I'd recommend the mandrake help files. They have a section on this and it's by reading it that I figured out a lot of this stuff.
