It might be easier if you just let Portage manage it:
eix win32codecs
* media-libs/win32codecs
Available versions: 20050216 *~20050412
Installed: 20050216
Homepage: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
Description: Win32 binary codecs for video and audio
playback support
and then made sure mplayer knew about it:
emerge -pv mplayer
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7 -3dfx +3dnow +3dnowext +X
+aac +aalib +alsa (-altivec) -arts -bidi -bl +cdparanoia -cpudetection
-custom-cflags -debug +dga +directfb +divx4linux -doc +dts +dv +dvb +dvd
+dvdread +edl +encode +esd +fbcon +ggi +gif +gtk -i8x0 -ipv6 -jack
-joystick +jpeg +libcaca -lirc -live -lzo +mad +matroska -matrox +mmx
+mmxext -mythtv +nas +nls -nvidia +opengl +oss +png +real +rtc +samba
+sdl +sse +sse2 +svga +tga +theora +truetype +v4l +v4l2 +vorbis
+win32codecs
+xanim -xinerama +xmms +xv +xvid +xvmc 0 kB
Of course, if you emerge mplayer +win32codecs, then you don't have to
emerge the win32codecs package separately (unless you want it in your
world file), as it will then be pulled in as a dependency.
