In a few words you will need to install developer tools and the
dependencies required for your needs.

That little sentence can take some time to get it right. You probably
will have to build and simply use the resulting executable for some time.
And repeat until you are satisfied with the results.

The advantage of MSys2 is you can use pacman to get most software
packages installed, upgraded and possibly removed if they turn out
not to be needed.

The building itself should then turn out pretty simple, just the
usual 2 to 3-stage process.

1. prepare and configure the build with MPlayer's configure command
2. compile with GNU make
3. install or package if you need it, though the resulting executable
   of the previous step can be used without installation

You should not need to write a script, except maybe a really "dumb"
one that contains your configure parameters and possible chains the
other 2 stages afterwards.
