[MPlayer-users] yasm configure check looks for nasm

[Erik Auerswald]

Hi all,

just an observation, since others might trip over this as well:

I have recently attempted to update and build MPlayer on a system where
it worked last November.  It did not work, i.e., configure reported that
it did not find yasm.  But yasm was available.  What was missing was nasm.

The output of ./configure --help does show the check looks for nasm,
but the error message only mentioned yasm:

    $ ./configure
    [...]
    Checking for yasm ... 
    Error: yasm not found, use --yasm='' if you really want to compile without
    [...]
    $ which yasm
    /usr/bin/yasm
    $ ./configure --help | grep -i yasm
      --yasm=YASM            Yasm assembler to build MPlayer [nasm]

Installing nasm solved the problem.

Cheers,
Erik
