Error compiling MPLayer in Slackware-current

I tried to compile MPlayer in Slackware-current and get the same error. I recompiled slack ffmpeg and Alien Bob's ffmpeg. The error is:

Code:

Any suggestions ? I just want to enable the USE_PATENTS.

are your gcc options and directives all there to point it to where it needs to look?

Code:

bash-4.4# grep -rwn /usr/include  -e vdp_decoder_create

//comes up empty

//here

bash-4.4# grep -rwn /usr/include -e vdp_device_create_x11

/usr/include/vdpau/vdpau_x11.h:88: * vdp_device_create_x11. The wrapper implements this function by

/usr/include/vdpau/vdpau_x11.h:98: * actually implement the \ref vdp_device_create_x11 application call.

/usr/include/vdpau/vdpau_x11.h:138:VdpDeviceCreateX11 vdp_device_create_x11;

//it shows the function call in question. One of them anyways, I did not check all of them.

You need to get an svn co of MPlayer trunk probably due to ffmpeg API change. The tar.xz snapshot included in the current source tree does not compile due to the ffmpeg-3.4 package upgrade. Which also reminds, I could not play DVDs with earlier package build of MPlayer when linked ffmpeg-3.4 either until I recompiled MPlayer. I'm pretty sure the MPlayer in current needs a recompile.

Last time I mentioned this.

If anyone needs a newer source snapshot of MPlayer upstream provides one.

http://mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html

I rebuilt the ffmpeg git master and MPlayer with this source today so it should work.

Thanks for all the replies. I will try them and give you all a feedback.

Out of curiosity, what new stuff does mPlayer got in it that it needs to be updated to whatever it is now? Am I missing something?

Well, I downloaded today snapshot according to orbea and could recompile MPlayer normally. So, I consider it solved. I did the tests BW-userx suggested and got the same results. the3dxdude was right as to the svn and ffmpeg API changes.

All of you were right, then. Good to have a lot of experts here.

BW-userx, the feature I want most is the AAC codec lame MP3. I could use x264, but I prefer ffmpeg.

Thank you all !

Support for newer ffmpeg API changes. The current snapshot that Pat is using was made well before ffmpeg made these API changes which require many programs such as MPlayer which depend on ffmpeg to update their code accordingly.

Seems this is really solved now. :)
