[MPlayer-users] building mplayer 1.0pre3

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,

I've got little questions about building the current mplayer 
release (1.0pre3). It's sometimes a little bit tricky, since I'll
build it for a different target that the build host.


a) is --enable-largefile save ?
   should I use it or better leave it out, until it's really needed ?
   
b) what benefits does the devfs support bring ?
   is it different from just using files in /dev/ ?
   
c) configure --help says there are several features autodetected.
   does --disable-foo work on them (i.e. termcap) ?

d) is the alsa output stable yet 
   (there were some problems mentioned on mplayer-dev-eng)


e) is it possible to specify which CPU should be supported ?
   (i.e. to support builds for other targets)

f) is it possible (yet) to build codecs as extra modules ?
   (configure refuses --enable-shared)
   
g) is there a support for build into a subdir ?
   (configure currently doesnt work in a subdir)
   

THX.
