MPlayer for FC5?

[AlexFR]

How can I get mplayer to work with fedora core 5 test 1? It says I need to downgrade my compiler to install it?

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

I assume you are trying to compile mplayer on FC5T1 since that's probably the only way to get it going on a test release, so, with that in mind, FC5T1 must have gcc 4.x as its default compiler version, and mplayer won't compile with gcc 4.x,

so, before you run ./configure in the mplayer source directory, you need to inform everything that you are going to run in that shell that you want to use the older version of the gcc compiler, 3.x, so run this,

export CC=gcc32

the older compiler and libs may not be installed so you'll have to find those yourself for FC5T1. I'm staying on FC4 till FC5 is released..........

"FC5-Dev" is the Forum that seemed the most complete for your discussion. I moved it here from "General". Magic Fingers! :)

That's not 100% true. If you manually add Livna (I think that's enough) you can YUM for mplayer-gui.

where do I get livna?
