Re: Linker error with current git version of ffmpeg in mplayer (The Wanderer)

Wanderer,

Thanks for your post.

I'm quite a novice when it comes to git. Can you give more instructions as to how to get the patch applied please?

Regards,

George...

Sylvain Bertrand posted a "fix build with recent ffmpeg" patch on

mplayer-dev-eng, just yesterday. This is almost certainly the issue

which that patch is intended to fix.


It can take anywhere from a few hours to several days before someone

with commit access applies the patch, but in the meantime, it shouldn't

be hard to apply it locally yourself. (Although I do recommend applying

it against a copy of the source tree, rather than taking the risk of

forgetting to unapply it before updating after the patch gets applied

upstream.)
