Compiling MPlayer on a fresh Dapper install, wmv, mp4, etc.

Hi there, thanks for this guide. However, I am getting the same errors as the person above:

I followed the guide to the letter, so i'm not sure as to what to do next. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

*edit* I'm attempting this with Edgy.

Remove the --enable-theora line in the ./configure command. It won't be compiled with Theora support of course but oh well..

Having issues with mplayer so i thought i'd start from scratch with your guide and this is as far as i got when trying to install all the denpenceys

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libfaac-dev: Depends: libmp4-dev but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

this is on edgy by the way

[sup]

sudo apt-get libmp4v2-dev
(i guess)

I'm not familiar with Theora, so I guess I won't miss it. Thanks for your reply.

well i just tried to compile the latest svn of mplayer and got these errors

make[1]: *** [demux_mov.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cor2y/mplayer/libmpdemux'
make: *** [libmpdemux/libmpdemux.a] Error 2

I'm on Dapper decided to give the latest svn a go and now its not problems with x264 or xvid anyomre but libmpdemux.

Anyone know how to fix?

Any ideas?
EDIT: PReferebly without removing Theora-support.

EDIT: I installed it without theora support, now I have no sound.
But video works fine.

Im trying to install on edgy, with AMR codec support
I had the same problem as above, so i disabled theora, however, now make fails with

Try to add --disable-mencoder , I had the same problem with the latest source, that make it compile.

I think that for the latest svn build you should now make like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gui --disable-arts --disable-smb --enable-sdl --enable-x11 --confdir=/etc/mplayer --win32codecsdir=/usr/lib/win32 --enable-menu --enable-tv-v4l2 --disable-liblzo --enable-largefiles  --disable-libdv --disable-aa --disable-mencoder

I don't use mencoder, so that doesn't matter for me. Notice too that --enable-theora isn't anymore, and I don't think is needed, because it's automatically detected. ( and you shouldn't write it, because it won't compile)
Maybe you should try to change it in your guide, and don't separate it for dapper, for edgy, as far as I know, it should be the same.

Thanks, it works perfectly now!
