Is there a PKGBUILD for mplayer with only the absolute core options for playing a video or even everything turned off. So tired of all this bloat.:@

Yes, in the AUR.

Also, have you learned yet how easy it is to make your own PKGBUILD file?

Actually if you are refering to the "minimal-svn". It's not minimal at all, or even light, in my opinion. I was wondering if someone has a completely stripped down version with all USE flags disabled. I will probably have to make it myself. But it is alot of flags to disable, and I don't know a quick way of doing it, so I just thought I would look here first to save me the trouble.

There is no such thing as a USE flag in Arch. However, building mplayer on your own should cut down on the "bloat" quite a bit even with no options specified as mplayer's build process checks for the availability of a lot of libraries and enables or disables features thus - if the library's not there, it simply won't use it. This is in addition to the usual explicit --enable/disable-foo output you'd get from ./configure --help.

Of course, if you had ran ./configure --help, you'd have seen just how much was autodetected ...

Why not just take the PKGBUILD from ABS and modify as you see fit?

I didn't really understand how it was autodetected. So that makes things much simpler now. Thanks.

I do.

My ranting ends here. Peace.

Also, just in case you want to disable the unnecessary options without compiling, you can do so using ~/.mplayer/config or the command-line switches.

for example I have the following in the config:

lirc = 0
joystick = 0

as i need neither.
