I presume the main reason from an Ubuntu point of view is that the version in Debian is still rc2. There doesn't seem to be a 1.0rc3 release which probably doesn't help.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mplayer.html The debian rules in the mplayer svn tree don't seem to build a package. I can run './configure && make' successfully, but 'debuild -us -uc' results in the following error: cc -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -I.. -I.. -Wdis abled-optimization -Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOUR CE -I. -I/usr/include/directfb -I/usr/include/ -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRAN T -I/usr/include/kde/artsc -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/ include -D_REENTRANT -Ilibdvdread4 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include -Ilibdvdnav -c -o h264.o h264.c h264.c: In function 'pred_direct_motion': h264.c:1045: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type h264.c:1046: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type h264.c: In function 'filter_mb_dir': h264.c:6260: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type h264.c:6261: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type cabac.h: In function 'get_cabac_noinline': cabac.h:527: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while reloading 'asm' cabac.h:527: error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints make[2]: *** [h264.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/gavinmc/src/mplayer-1.0svn/libavcodec' make[1]: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gavinmc/src/mplayer-1.0svn' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1329: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed The fix for this may be simple or it may not, I'm not sure. -- [Jaunty,Intrepid,Hardy] mplayer doesn't detect SMIL files beginning with a <!DOCTYPE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321254 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
