This is contradictory; running 'make' is what starts the compile. Did
you mean "when configuring"?

Most of this would probably be because MPlayer does not use external
FFmpeg - in other words, installing libav* packages does you no good at
all unless some other program wants them. You have to have copies of the
libav* source directories inside your MPlayer source tree.

Where are you getting your MPlayer sources from? Most of the possible
means of obtaining it should, AFAIR, provide you with the relevant
directories automatically... but it's been long enough since I've had to
set up an MPlayer tree from scratch that perhaps I've forgotten something.
