[MPlayer-users] sudo make install silently fails to install mplayer and mencoder binaries, installs only man page

[Linards Ticmanis]

Hello,

with the current SVN, "./configure && make" goes through without
problems, but then "sudo make install" produces the following only:

install -d /usr/local/share/man/man1
install -m 644 DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
cd /usr/local/share/man/man1 && ln -sf mplayer.1 mencoder.1

So as you see the man page is being installed, but not the mplayer and
mencoder binaries. Sure enough, there's still an old version at
/usr/local/bin/mplayer after the install command. I have to install
mplayer and mencoder by hand:

sudo install -s mencoder /usr/local/bin/
sudo install -s mplayer /usr/local/bin/

I checked whether my tree is clean: "svn diff" gives nothing, and I
tried deleting the ffmpeg directory and having ./configure re-fetch it,
to no avail. So I assume my tree is in fact clean.

This can't really be intended, can it?
