The most obvious thing which comes to mind is a three-step process.

One, install the x264 libraries (including headers, generally from a
development package).

Two, familiarize yourself with the syntax and semantics of MPlayer's
configure script.

Third, on the basis of step two, stop using '--enable' options which are
marked 'autodetect' in the output of ./configure --help.


This is, of course, not remotely Mac-specific; it is basic procedure
which applies to all platforms. For all I know there may well be some
specific reason why it will not work that simply under MacOS. However,
in the absence of anything to indicate otherwise, I would be inclined to
assume that it will Just Work until something tells me that it won't.
