[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Fix FTBFS in kfreebsd + GNU/Hurd info

[Miguel A. Colón Vélez]

Hello:

Mplayer currently fails to build on kfreebsd.
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=mplayer&suite=unstable

Hopefully this makes it in before the new release.

Also there is a fairly old patch to fix a FTBFS with GNU/Hurd
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/mplayer.git/tree/debian/patches/50_Hurd_PATH_MAX.patch
More info:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=654974
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/maxpath.html

I'm currently building it in qemu since the GNU build has not been
compiled in a while so I'm not sure if there are more issues in there.

It's unrelated but:
  echo "Compiling without FFmpeg is currently not supported/working."
  echo "Please contact us if that is an issue for you."
  die "both internal and external FFmpeg missing"

Could a flag be added to at least not require ffmpeg and yasm when
ONLY building the documentation?

Something like
./configure --language=all --build-only-docs
make html-chunked

The new bbuild for arch=all packaged ends up installing ~400 packages
when only ~30 are really needed. I can drop most of them except ffmpeg
and yasm. Yasm can be dropped with --yasm=''" but a flag to skip those
two or most of the unneeded checks could be useful.

Cheers,
Miguel
