MPlayer porting log

[ritchan]

Before I forget anything, I'm going to put it up here:
MPlayer 1.0rc2
1. after warning that !gcc compilers are not supported, it goes on to find that inttypes.h and bitypes.h are not present.
Solution: apparently the compile process just failed because of -mtune=r8000, which MIPSPro doesn't understand but GCC does. Deleted -mtune section in configure script.
2.

Checking for Subtitles sorting ... yes
Checking for XMMS inputplugin support ... no
Checking for inet6 ... yes
Checking for gethostbyname2 ... no
Checking for GUI ... yes
Checking for XShape extension ...
Error: The GUI requires the X11 extension XShape (which was not found).

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.

Xsgi being not open, this probably won't be solved anytime soon.
Solution: --disable-gui

Then it configures cleanly. I don't dare compile anything, I suppose I'll just go study instead.

Strange because Xsgi does support XShape. It's an old X11 extension. I used it with Iconbar. You can also do xdpyinfo to see the supported extensions.

XShape is in /usr/lib32/libXext.so, and XOpenDisplay is in /usr/lib32/libX11.so
Solution : change the libraries list and order for the linker to find all symbols.

ps : editing the configure script is usually a bad idea, as it's generated by autoconf.
