Having used and loved rc1 for the last couple of weeks, I decided to upgrade to rc2. But I've been having a few problems in the process.

It's a mandrake 8.2 system, so the compilers immediately available to me are 2.96 and 3.0.4. Knowing that 2.96 is evil, 3.0.4 was used the first time around.

./configure --enable-gui --enable-largefiles, went fine - and regardless of what the docs said about 3.0.x releases, configure script said it was ok. I then ran make, and it worked for a couple of minutes to leave me with this:

gcc -c -O4 -march=athlon-tbird -mcpu=athlon-tbird -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame
-pointer -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Ilibmpdemux -I
loader -Ilibvo -I-I/usr/include -I/usr/include/dvdnav -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I
/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/inclu
de/SDL -D_REENTRANT -o mencoder.o mencoder.c
mencoder.c: In function `main':
mencoder.c:397: warning: passing arg 2 of `m_config_register_options' from incom
patible pointer type
mencoder.c: In function `lame_presets_set':
mencoder.c:1417: `MEDIUM_FAST' undeclared (first use in this function)
mencoder.c:1417: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mencoder.c:1417: for each function it appears in.)
mencoder.c:1419: `MEDIUM' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [mencoder.o] Error 1

I ran the same commands over with gcc-2.96. I know, evil, but hey, it should at least compile yeah? Nope. Same error. So then I installed gcc-3.2, ran the commands over, and again, got the same error. I'm guessing at this point that it's not a compiler error, but I can't see anything that's changed much since rc1 and rc2 that would mean I'd have to upgrade any other packages.

Any ideas appreciated

You may want to investigate the configure option --enable-largefiles a little deeper. I built mine for a P4 without that option and have successfully built two movies well over 3GB filesize.

(I'm trying a ./config + make with those options now....)

Nope. That worked fine from a freshly tarballed folder.

My best guess is to look at your kernel build (precessor type & features), and then if that fails to look at the advanced option in the configure script (mmx. mmx2, 3dnow, etc...)

Which compiler was your kernel built with?

No cigar. It's the same as last time:

mencoder.c: In function `main':
mencoder.c:397: warning: passing arg 2 of `m_config_register_options' from incompatible pointer type
mencoder.c: In function `lame_presets_set':
mencoder.c:1417: `MEDIUM_FAST' undeclared (first use in this function)
mencoder.c:1417: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mencoder.c:1417: for each function it appears in.)
mencoder.c:1419: `MEDIUM' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [mencoder.o] Error 1

I've been looking at the MPlayer site, in which it says in bullet points the new features of rc2. One of those new features is "Presets support for libmp3lame encoding". Which I think sounds fairly familiar to the lame_presets_set function that seems to be giving so much trouble.

Bit of a newbie, how do I find out that info about the kernel? I know it's an Athlon 1333, and a stock 8.2 Mandrake kernel, but the other stuff, I don't know.

I dunno - your lame-enc might be a better diagnosis than mine.

But for an experiment try the --enable-runtime-cpudetection and see if it builds.

Nope, same error.

[edit]
I'm suspiscious about those lame errors. Going to see if I can't compile my own liblame.

Well, this certainly teaches me something. Always listen to your spidy sense. Anyone else with this problem, grab a libmp3lame tarball from sourceforge and compile your own version of the libs. Sorted my problem out.

Hi,
Have you read the documentation of mplayer?

Important is the relase of gcc.

ok, this is an ****OLD**** thread, and is no doubt solved long long time ago now.
