Trying to build Mplayer with enable-aa

eyolf · 2006-07-17 09:19:12

My son wants to watch video in ascii mode, but the arch version of mplayer is compiled without support for aalib. I've tried to make my own version
using the current pkgbuild and changing "--disable-aa" to "--enable-aa", but after a while of compiling, the build aborts with the following:

Can someone help me out here? I imagine the answer is simple, but I can't get past this stage.

Maybe you don't have aalib installed i guess.

eyolf · 2006-07-17 21:37:30

Oh, I have aalib installed alright. I can also use some other apps which use it (jp2a), and after playing around with it some more, I can also use gstreamer with the aalib-plugin, so in that sense it's a 'mission accomplished', although I'd still like to know why mplayer couldn't find the aalib.

This patch will help.

eyolf · 2006-07-18 06:49:34

Thanks!
But... how do I use it?

codemac · 2006-07-18 13:12:17

mplayer -vo help

May I suggest this tool for the future:

man man

Copy and save the code above to a file(patch.diff as an example), copy that file to /var/abs/multimedia/mplayer/ and add "patch -Np1 -i $startdir/patch.diff || return 1" to the PKGBUILD.

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/MPlayer-${pkgver}
patch -Np1 -i $startdir/patch.diff || return 1
[ "$CARCH" == "x86_64" ] && $(patch -Np1 -i ../mplayer-1.0_pre7-gcc4-amd64.patch || return 1)

@codemac: I think eyolf wants to know how to use the patch.

eyolf: Copy what brain0 posted in a file, name it aa.patch and add it to the source array of the PKGBUILD. Then before the configure line add:
patch -p1 < $startdir/src/aa.patch || return 1

codemac · 2006-07-18 14:35:47

I read a little bit too fast sometimes, my apologies.

eyolf · 2006-07-28 13:21:21

No problem - I do that myself too.
anyway, thanks for your help. I'm pretty sure I would have given up on that patch thing if I were left to myself (and man...)
