[MPlayer-users] Building MPlayer under Mac OS X

[galenz at zinkconsulting.com]

Hello,

I'm trying to build MPlayer under Mac OS X (x86) - my goal is to end  
up with a build of mencoder that incorporates the latest x264. Beyond  
the MPlayer source code, I have compiled the latest nightly of x264  
(built and installed properly) and latest faac (also built and  
installed smoothly.)

Unfortunately, it has become a game of whack-a-mole. Everything looks  
great in ./configure but when I get to making, it fails for one  
reason or another. I've already fixed a few layers of problems, but  
I'm now pretty well stuck.

Here's what I'm using with MPlayer 1.0rc1 source:
./configure --disable-win32 --disable-gui  --with-extraincdir=/usr/ 
local/include/ --disable-mp3lib

[I would have liked to leave mp3lib enabled. but I was getting errors  
with that.]

Here's the last few lines of the building process when it fails:
/libvorbisidec.a  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfreetype
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lx264
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mplayer] Error 1

I've also tried using the latest MPlayer SVN, but I experienced  
various other problems while making, therefore I reverted back to the  
1.0rc1 which is perhaps a bit less 'cutting edge.'

Can anybody point me in the right direction in getting this thing to  
build?
