[MPlayer-users] Re: libavcodec compile problem

[Ross Lippert]

Yeah, I know libavcodec is not part of mplayer, but just in case my problem
is known and commonplace here is what happens:
....
h263.c:1981: warning: empty body in an if-statement
h263.c: In function `h263_decode_mb':
h263.c:2360: warning: empty body in an if-statement
gmake[1]: *** [h263.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/ripper/mplayer/src-cvs/main/libavcodec'
gmake: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2

I have cd-ed into the directory and run the offending line:
gcc -W -Wall -O2 -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -g3  -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall -g -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I.. -c -o h263.o h263.c

and found that gcc (2.95.3) is exitting with code 1, even though it is
not complaining about any error.  Needless to say, h263.o does not get built.

If this is something I should just take up with the libavcodec people,
fine, but I hoped it was something that had already been seen here.
