Source: mplayer Version: 2:1.5+svn38408-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
mplayer fails to cross build from source for quite a number of reasons. It has a quite unique configure script that doesn't work with standard cross compilation flags. I figured that you need --target, --enable-cross-compile, --cc, and --host-cc (with a meaning that differs from dpkg's meaning of "host"). Beyond that, it hard codes the build architecture pkg-config in really a lot of places. Instead of adding a gigantic patch for this, I opt for adding a wrapper script. It also requires libavutil-dev for the build architecture. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Note that you must chmod +x debian/devbin/pkg-config after applying it for it to work. Helmut
