[MPlayer-users] Re: memleak in cvs

Try "valgrind" (http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/) playing several minutes
- it might give you the leakages. (just compile with debig info so you could
see more info on the stack).
In general it might be a good practice to run smth similar on the
application once in a while - might catch bugs before they are caught by
users...

You're using freebsd, vm is handled completely different and libc is
different.  If the problem is either OS specific via preprocesser
directives ( #ifdef's and such) or a functional error with return values
or simply the function of a system library, you wont see the problem.  

So the problem is specific to something linux uses but your bsd
doesn't.  There are still too many possibilities as to what this can be.
you dont have alloca, or memalign and both of these thinsg are probably
used in linux's mplayer port.  So i guess we can stick to trying to get
more linux reports.

This is very weird. I didn't notice such thing, and as my machine is
quite underpowered, I would have noticed such memory leak. I mean
since I'm constantly at ~90 MB of swap used (X11, icewm, mozilla,
XEmacs, a few Eterms, a few daemons and things left and right) with a
maximum at 256 and 256 MB of ram, I shouldn't be able to watch
anything :) and I can watch 1400 MB mpeg-4 files without any problem.

Anyway, here's the result of ./configure there :

'config.h' and 'config.mak' contain your configuration options.
Note: If you alter theses files (for instance CFLAGS) MPlayer may no
longer
      compile *** DO NOT REPORT BUGS if you tweak these files ***

'make' will now compile MPlayer and 'make install' will install it.
Note: On non-Linux systems you might need to use 'gmake' instead of
'make'.

Check configure.log if you wonder why an autodetection failed (check
whether the
development headers/packages are installed).

If you suspect a bug, please read DOCS/bugreports.html.
