Commit 7484ae8e2e attempted to introduce two ass_library handles
(as it was needed to deal with how ass_library manages fonts), but the
commit was completely bogus: it assumed osd_state->ass_library would be
used by osd_libass.c only, which is not the case. As result, some of the
subtitle code used the wrong ass_library handle.
We need two ass_library handles in osd_state. The one from the mplayer
core for subtitles (osd_state->ass_library), and one for OSD rendering
(osd_state->osd_ass_library).
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 (for libass)
- libfontconfig (for libass)
- 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.
