FC5-T2 Mplayer won't compile

[Xygoteneph]

Anybody have any luck getting mplayer to compile?? I've tried everything, including forcing it to ignore errors, but it still dies during compilation...

Any suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

What errors do you get in ./configure and make?
EDIT: I've just tried to compile it from source and am getting these errors.

make[1]: *** [libpostproc/postprocess.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kronoz/src/mplayer/MPlayer-1.0pre7try2/libavcodec'
make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2


I configured with ./config --disable-gcc-checking becuase it complained about my version of gcc.

That's exactly what I have tried, using the --disable-gcc-checking switch, and I get the same
[libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2 error you are getting.

Anybody else have any luck configing and compling mplayer in FC5 ??? If so, please post suggestions!

Either try with a different compiler (gcc32) or try using MPlayer-cvs

If you only want to use it get the FC4 rpm from livna. It works for me. Of course you have to modify your livna.repo and harcode '4' as your release number. Like this:
...
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/$basearch/RPMS.lvn

That worked! Installed GCC 3.2 and forcing mplayer to compile using ./configure --cc=gcc32 along with my other ./configure options, and it compiled, installed, and works great, even with all the extra codecs!

Trying to use mplayer-cvs also failed, until I installed and used GCC 3.2.

Thanks for the suggestions mjmwired & PocoLoco!

I think it might help with some other apps I've been trying to compile for FC5!
