[MPlayer-users] BUGREPORT: compiling MPlayer with dvdnav support on Windows

[John Brown]

Hello All,

I am experiencing various problems with adding dvdnav support to MPlayer.

I followed the instructions in DOCS/tech/dvdnav-howto.txt. I have:

- libdvdread r1219 (Sat, 11 Sep 2010)
- libdvdnav r1219 (Sun, 21 Nov 2010)

These were successfully compiled as static libraries and installed:
$ pkg-config --list-all | grep dvd
dvdread          libdvdread - Low level DVD access library
dvdnav           libdvdnav - DVD Navigation library
dvdnavmini       libdvdnavmini - DVD Navigation mini library

By the way, since libdvdnavmini depends on libdvdread, pkg-config should say so
like this:

$ pkg-config --libs dvdnavmini
-Lc:/mingw/local/lib -ldvdnav -ldvdread

but it did not. I manually added -ldvdread to dvdnavmini.pc.

Problems:
=======
1) libdvdread was not included in the link command to produce mplayer.exe. 
Quick fix - I edited config.mak.
Permanent fix - I edited dvdnavmini.pc as described above.

2) The link command failed with undefined references _dvd_set_speed, dvd_speed,
dvd_angle, etc.

Quick fix - I added stream/stream_dvd_common.c and stream/stream_dvd.c
to the Makefile like this:

SRCS_COMMON-$(DVDNAV)                += stream/stream_dvdnav.c \
                                        stream/stream_dvd_common.c \
                                        stream/stream_dvd.c

I don't know if this was legitimate or not, but it linked.

3) dvd:// and dvdnav:// are not recognised by mplayer.

$ ./mplayer.exe -vo gl2 -dvd-device /d/Downloads/riding.iso dvd://

--extra-ldflags='-static -Lc:/mingw/local/lib'
