[MPlayer-users] compiling svn with dvdnav support

[William Norfleet]

The procedure I posted 2007-08-02 no longer works.  The procedure below 
seems to. 
It is useful for those who prefer to keep MPlayer files in a
home directory.  It adjusts for the fact that dvdnav.h is currently not 
where
MPlayer's ./configure expects to find it.  A simple means is also 
included to
link to libdvdnavmini.so.4 since ./configure options --with-extralibdir and
--extra-libs do not work in a way that I understand.  HTH.

All steps, except the last (as noted), are done as a normal user.
Mplayer source goes in /home/bill/opt/mplayerfiles/mplayer.
Libvdnav source goes in /home/bill/opt/mplayerfiles/libdvdnav.
Compiled binaries go in /home/bill/mplayer.
