[MPlayer-users] compilation linking error

[Giacomo Comes]

During the last couple of days something has changed in the way mplayer get
linked at the end of the compilation.

Since 2 days ago the linking step was:
gcc -o mplayer mplayer.o *.o *.a -L<custom path>  -lncurses -llibs* -L<pathA> -llibs* -L<pathB> -llibs* ...
where <custom path> is the argument of configure's option --with-extralibdir.

Now the linking step is:
gcc -o mplayer mplayer.o *.o *.a -llibs* -L<path1> -llibs* -L<path2> -llibs* .... -L<custom path>  -lncurses -llibs* -L<pathA> -llibs* ....

In this way the configure option --with-extralibdir will not work anymore properly
if a library with the same name is present also somewere else.
