[MPlayer-users] getting make to work for ARM

You should not top-post I believe. Have you
experimented with what steps I had given before. You
should always give more information about your setup.

eg. Board Info - if possible.
    Toolchian Info. - versions. 
    A full log. 

Ref:
Refer/learn autotools, automake tools. 

Check the config.log always, if you are getting error
in "configure". 

Always post full error log. 

You can also refer document "How to ask smart
questions?".

Checkout first "./configure --help". Is it giving you
"--cc" option. You should give "--target=arm-linux".
Again check the config.log , whenever you get the
configuration error.

I don't see any prob. of assembler, as you had
specified very little stuff on error.
