[MPlayer-users] How to Compile mplayer for different Linux Distribution

[ZHANG, W.]

Hi,

I would like to install mplayer on a file server so that it can be shared by
machines with same architecture (x86, x86_64) but different Linux distributions
such as redhat, SuSE, Debian.  For some purpose, I also need speciafied gcc
version to compile mplayer source code.

For this requirement, I think I would better to enable static library when
compile.  But I can't get X11 related video output enabled when I run configure
script.  

I can make it work if I run default configure use dynamic .  But I don't wish
to see missing library when I run mplayer on other Linux distro such as SuSE.

The options I used for configuration is:

./configure --prefix=<DESTDIR>/MPlayer/x86 --cc=<DK>/gcc/3.3.3/bin/gcc
--host-cc=<DK>/gcc/3.3.3/bin/gcc  --enable-runtime-cpudetection
--target=i386-linux --enable-static 

The errors cause X11 disabled such as:

============ Checking for X11 ============

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
int main(void) { (void) XCreateWindow(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0); return 0; }

Result is: no

===============================
I guess it may be due to miss path to required library.  But I don't know what
lib it looks for and how to specify the location of each of library.

I am not a software programer.  Could anyone give me some instructions on how
to  meet my installation requirement?  Thank you!
