I tried autogen.sh

Code:

./autogen.sh 
configure.ac:30: error: AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS is not defined. Is autoconf-archive installed?
configure.ac:27: GM_CHECK_MACRO is expanded from...
configure.ac:30: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1

You shouldn't need to run autogen.sh if you use the release tarball instead of building from git. Try the standard configure -> make -> make install process with the latest release instead.

Make sure you have all of the dependencies installed first.

"Look in the readme.md file" it says how to use this cmd from within the src code directory ```sh with ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install; to get it installed.

It also says that automake, autoconf, etc. are not needed when building from release tarballs. I think the building instructions in the README are just not very thorough.

Your right montagdude the instructions aren't very thorough.

./configure, make and make install may work but only if all the dependencies are satisfied as I'm sure you'll agree.-

@linuxs64

What distribution are you running?

You need to build and install mpv with --enable-libmpv-shared first.
