[MPlayer-users] building mplayer using non-standard ffmpeg libs

[Shane]

Hi All,

I'm trying to build mplayer 1.0rc1 against a custom build off ffmpeg
I've done but I can't seem to get it to play nice. The ffmpeg install
has a few extra codecs that I need to use for playback in mplayer ...

Thus far I've installed ffmpeg to /opt/local/ffmpeg  (./configure
--prefix=/opt/local/ffmpeg)

Then to build mplayer:
./configure --prefix=/opt/local/mplayer-1.0rc1/
--with-extralibdir=/opt/local/ffmpeg/lib --enable-decoder=dnxhd

this didn't error - however dnxhd wasn't in the list of codecs
configured to build - I tried anyway but indeed once built and
installed mplayer couldn't play back a dnxhd encoded quicktime.

So, how can I compile mplayer effectively against ffmpeg from a
non-standard location? ...the only options I've noticed about it are
disabling libavcodec ...

TIA
Shane.
