There is a .tar.bz2 file which contains various dependencies.
Do i need to recompile them or does debian already comes with those?
Do they need some special compilation or is it just the standard way 
to compile things?

$ ./configure
$ make

or is it quite difficult to compile them?

Would it then possible if the server could compile such a package from 
time to time automatically?

I plan to release daily builds of MPlayer on my server.

Greetings,
Simon
