compiling mplayer with x264 support

you might think this a much discussed topic with many solutions, but somehow I have the feeling this does not work so well on slackware 12.0.
Is it possible that one has to patch the source or something?

So my question is weather someone compiled mplayer with x264 support successfully.

I used http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en...tml#codec-x264
If I do this exactly like there mplayer has no x264 support (http://h264enc.sf.net is saying that)

If I compile mplayer with --enable-x264 make failes with:

Code:

lfribidi -lz -llzo2 -lmad  -ltheora -logg  -lpthread -ldl -rdynamic  -lm

My first try was http://pastebin.com/m5da0e3d0 and that is actually what I want, but I tried to get more simple, but it still does not work ...

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

Well, I have successfully compiled x264 support under Slackware 12. It is not difficult if you follow the mplayer directions.

1. First install x264. Slackbuilds.org has a nice script for this.
2. Next compile and install mplayer without a lot of those options that you are using:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gui --language=de

'enable' can make your life a bit difficult with mplayer, it will find x264 quite easily without it.

I could not quite understand what you were doing with dvd / css options, try without all these gymnastics and you may find that all is well :-)

Edit: Looks like --enable-largefiles is required by rc2 but not svn.

Many Thanks for your help.

First I tried what you said with the slackbuild.org x264 and svn mplayer but with no sucess. It would build, but without x264 and faac support.

Than I thought before I come back here I try the MPlayer-1.0rc2 and with that it works! funny ...

Both said during configure:

Code:

Checking for x264 ... yes (in libavcodec: yes)

I never no weather mplayer uses some internal libs or external libdvdread for example ...

At the end it says libdvdread(internal) even though I have libdvdread installed ...

Hi,

Glad you have it partly sorted out!

Yhe internal dvd read works better than the external in my experience. Do not quote me but I believe that dvdread is getting a little rusty and the internal dvdread of mplayer represents a fork from this project although I am not sure of this. Anyone?

The only reason that I can think of to disable internal dvdread and dvdcss is if you wish to use the mplayer fork of dvdnav and in this case this is required to make it work.

It might not be the same case but I also got build errors around some x264 files. The solution was to add -fomit-frame-pointer to the config file, so gcc would use it.
