[MPlayer-users] SVN compiling problem

[Alexander Bokovikov]

Hello, All!

Finally I've got a chance to try to build MPlayer once again... and I've got 
some errors while compiling:

First one occurs, when I compile NASM package (the latest one available):

===========><8=============
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... ./configure: eval: line 1: unexpected 
EOF while looking for matching `"'
./configure: eval: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
no
===========><8=============

BTW, the same is happening when I compile OGG, VORBIS, etc., but those 
packages are installed (for the first look) OK, whereas NASM gives error 
while making, saying that nasm.exe is not found.

Here I think that something is incorrect in the package, and am going into 
the configure.log file. And here is what I see there:

===========><8=============
configure:2154: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:2: parse error before "me"
configure:2160: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| #ifndef __cplusplus
|   choke me
| #endif
===========><8=============

Does anybody know what it could be?

Also I've tried to compile the latest (08/29) SVN, and here is what I've 
got:

===========><8=============
$ ./configure --enable-runtime-cpudetection --enable-static

etc.)

Error: obsolete binutils version

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.
===========><8=============

What are binutils and where can I find the updated version?

Also I'd like to understand -- whether can I just download the svn and 
compile it without preliminary installation of all those libs like are 
enumerated in the MINGW-HOWTO doc? Or all these libs are required? If 
they're required, then why not to supply the SVN with them? At least with 
their versions, definitely working with the latest SVN? It would simplify 
the SVN installation a lot! I have in mind do not include these libs into 
SVN itself, but just to upload one archive with ALL required libs to the 
website, where SVN is now available, as bz2. How is such idea for you?

Appreciate any help!

Thanks.
