This issue hits users way too often. Copy the explanation printed by the configure script to the README to give it more visibility. We will fix this properly once we have a new build system.

Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide
|
|
variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
|
|
|
|
If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read
|
|
more about the [changes][changes].

|
Compilation
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
|
|
|
|
- gcc or clang
|
|
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
|
|
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
|
|
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
|
|
- libass
|
|
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
|
|
- libjpeg
|
|
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
|
|
- libx264/libmp3lame/libfdk-aac if you want to use encoding (has to be
|
|
explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
|
|
|
|
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 ([mpv-build][mpv-build]) that first compiles FFmpeg
|
|
libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against
|
|
those.
|
|
|
|
If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide [homebrew-mpv][homebrew-mpv], an up
|
|
to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for
|
|
OSX.
|
|
|
|
configure --enable-* parameters
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
|
|
skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
|
|
autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
|
|
level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
|
|
and linker flags yourself.
|
|
If you used one of these options and experience a compilation or
|
|
linking failure, make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags
|
|
to configure.

Contributing
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger
|
|
changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will
|
|
make code review easier for both parties later on.
