I got latest snapshot from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html

I installed opencore-amr-0.1.2.tar.gz .
In usual way

Code:

#cd opencore-amr-0.1.2;./configure;make;make install;make clean;

This helps in './configure' of mplayer as

Code:

Checking for libopencore_amr narrowband ... yes 
Checking for libopencore_amr wideband ... yes 
enabled codecs:libopencore_amrwb libopencore_amrnb

then i installed lame-398-2.tar.gz
This helped as

Code:

Checking for libmp3lame ... yes (in libavcodec: yes)

In case of xvid-core-1.2.2.tar.bz2 . I did

Code:

#cd xvidcore-1.1.3/build/generic/;./configure;make;make install

This helped as

Code:

Checking for Xvid ... yes 
Checking for Xvid two pass plugin ... yes 
enabled codecs:xvid

the installed live555-latest.tar.gz as

Code:

#cd live;./genMakefiles linux;make;cd ..;cp -a live /usr/local/lib/live

This helped

Code:

Checking for LIVE555 Streaming Media libraries ... yes (using /usr/local/lib/live)
enabled input:live555

Did 'apt-get install' for libjpeg-dev,libgif-dev (I have ubuntu 8.04)
This helped as

Code:

Checking for JPEG support ... yes 
enabled video output:jpeg
Checking for GIF support ... yes 
enabled codec:gif
enabled video output:gif89ade]

Install libgtk-dev if you want to use '--enable-gui' in configure of mplayer.

I read all above somewhere & wanted to disseminate. You can point my mistakes OR give ways to add functionality in mplayer.

Thank You.

Yes, this has been there for quite some time. Doing a "./configure --help" will tell you all the options you can put in or omit at build time. It's documented in the readme that comes with the software.

I wanted to get a check as well as know if there is more I can do & how that would be advantageous.
Sharing helps all
