I have both libmad and alsa but it does not detect them
I want to use libmad and alsa with mplayer but right now i am struck with the mpg library and oss emulation of alsa.
my version of mplayer is a binary one(rpm)
Any thoughts?
are they not picked up with the ./configure stage? if not then it will presumably not have the developemnt libraries installed for each. you didn't say what distro your on though so i can't tell you how to install them
Originally posted by acid_kewpie are they not picked up with the ./configure stage? if not then it will presumably not have the developemnt libraries installed for each. you didn't say what distro your on though so i can't tell you how to install them
that is my initial idea
but i thought that since i have the rpm it should have been configured to include alsa/mad as they are definately better than other alternatives
the distro with this problem is rh8.0 though i have not tested it in other distro/s
well i tested the same mplayer in my debian system it detects the libmad but not alsa
(maybe i miss something)
Debian 3.0(2.2.20)
and
Redhat 8.0(2.4.18-24)
In both distros i compiled/installed libmad and alsa later
well as i said i am using the binary version of mplayer
so how come the config.log /configure script
if you were talking about alsa/libmad both are working very fine with other applications(like alsaplayer) and a small program i made
incidentally i checked the same mplayer in Mandrake 8.1(Vitamin)
(2.4.3-16mdk) without alsa and it detects libmad
do you think it is the time to try for mplayer mailing list?
