Bad news, the current fontconfig support in mplayer requires fontconfig
2.4.2. So either we can patch the old fontconfig code back in, or we
drop
fontconfig support for RHEL5, RHEL4 and RHEL3...
The currently working version (mplayer-1.0-0.43.svn20090711.el5.rf)
does rely on libfontconfig.so.1, building without it would be a major
downgrade, so I think if mplayer is updated from 1.0-0.43 it needs
fontconfig support somehow.
RHEL5 provides fontconfig-2.4.1-7.el5, is it potentially possible to
build the new mplayer with that, ugly I know, but
http://fontconfig.org/release/ChangeLog-2.4.2
doesn't seem to indicate any major changes against 2.4.1, but mainly
bugfixes (bugs with which current users of mplayer had to live with!).
Note also that even fontconfig-2.8.0-2.fc14 provides the same library
(libfontconfig.so.1) as fontconfig-2.4.1-7.el5.
Thanks for working on this! AG
