[MPlayer-users] mplayer from FreeBSD ports fails to build/compile

I tried these options

Config files successfully generated by ./configure --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include
-DBROKEN_RELOCATIONS --extra-libs=-L/usr/local/lib --with-freetype-config=/usr/local/bin/freetype-config --with-dvdnav-config=/usr/local/bin/dvdnav-config --with-dvdread-config=/usr/local/bin/dvdread-config --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/man --target=amd64-srcbld-freebsd8.2 !

'config.h' and 'config.mak' contain your configuration options.
Note: If you alter theses files (for instance CFLAGS) MPlayer may no longer
      compile *** DO NOT REPORT BUGS if you tweak these files ***

'make' will now compile MPlayer and 'make install' will install it.
Note: On non-Linux systems you might need to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'.

Please check mtrr settings at /proc/mtrr (see DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#mtrr)

NOTE: Win32 codec DLLs are not supported on your CPU (amd64) or your
operating system (srcbld). You may encounter a few files that cannot
be played due to missing open source video/audio codec support.

Check config.log if you wonder why an autodetection failed (make sure
development headers/packages are installed).

NOTE: The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
and linker flags yourself.
If you used one of these options (except --enable-menu and similar ones that
turn on internal features) and experience a compilation or linking failure,
make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.

If you suspect a bug, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.


 and then when I run gmake I get:

config.mak:7: *** missing separator.  Stop.

But need not worry.  I got the ports version to work.  In case I build mplayer from source again in FreeBSD, I will keep this in as a reference.
