The commit 74df1d8e05 (and f752212c62) replaced the configure
endian check with byte order macros defined by standard headers. It
turns out that MinGW-w64 actually doesn't define these macros in the
sys/types.h system header. (I assumed it does, because a quick test
seemed to work. But that was because gcc -W -Wall doesn't warn against
undefined macros. You need -Wundef for that.) MinGW-w64 has a
sys/params.h header defining these macros, but sys/types.h doesn't
include it, so it's useless without special casing the mplayer code.
Add a hack top configure instead. Define the macros directly, and
assume MinGW-w64 only works on little endian machines.
The other changes are basically random typos and superficial oversights.
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.
Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
- libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
- libGL (OpenGL output)
- libXv (XVideo output)
general:
- libasound (ALSA audio output)
- various general X development libraries
- libfreetype (for libass)
- libfontconfig (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
