Setting O_NONBLOCK on a file descriptor also affects all other fds
that share the same underlying open file description, and in case of
stdin such sharing is likely. Making stdin nonblocking can also make
stdout nonblocking (they may be the same connection to a terminal),
and it can also affect other processes (in "program1 | program2", the
shell may give the same terminal connection to program1 as stdin and
to program2 as stdout, thus program1 making its stdin nonblocking also
turns program2's stdout nonblocking).
To avoid these problems stop making fd 0 nonblocking. After the
previous commit this should no longer cause problems as long as
select() does not spuriously report the fd as readable.
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.
Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
- libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
- libGL (OpenGL output)
- libXv (XVideo output)
general:
- libasound (ALSA audio output)
- various general X development libraries
- libfreetype
- libfontconfig
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
