The command line parsing code recorded the next commandline argument,
if any, as the parameter of any option recorded to playtree. Thus a
command line like "mplayer file -fs -aid 1" would record option "-fs"
with a bogus argument "-aid". Historically this triggered no visible
problems because such bogus arguments were silently ignored when
interpreting the options later. However after recent commit 507fa7e2c2
("options: indicate ambiguous option parameters explicitly")
parameters to flag options are no longer ignored, and the bogus values
now triggered parsing errors. Add a check to stop recording parameters
for old-style single-dash options if m_config_check_option() says the
option did not consume any arguments.
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.
