Very true, and since I tend to use Softsubs a lot, Fontconfig and  
Freetype are rather important!

You are very right!  I had a quick check, and I was using an outdated  
version of XCode.  1Gb of downloading later, and everything compiled  
fine.

Everything worked fine, and I now have a version which doesn't  
require the MAD MP3 audio library any more.  Thank you very much for  
your help!

Now to learn a bit of XCode and see if I can tinker with the MPlayer  
OS X front-end.

Cheers,
