[MPlayer-users] Full summary of issues and request for help.

[Alexander Wehr]

Ok.. i just spent all day messing around with mplayer svn builds.

for some reason the build perfectly fine on my intel mac but on my  
ppc mac the build process fails with this message:

cc -o mplayer mplayer.o m_property.o mp_msg.o mixer.o parser-mpcmd.o

additionally, even after the successful builds on my intel mac, i end  
up with absolutely no OSD/subtitles at all.
i'll push keys like b, j, and o, and not get any visual response at  
all, and the -sid command does not work either.

is there a guru in the house?

i've been compiling mplayer for myself regularly for the past couple  
years, but in this case, truth be told, im about at the end of my  
rope.  I'd revert but i can't because the files were overwritten.

other things i've tried:
browsing back through earlier svns attempting to build a stable  
version.  stability usually wasnt an issue, but the things didnt have  
subtitles/osd either.
