Well, I suspect it's your ./config options, not gcc. MOF, I've
never need either --cc=/usr/bin/gcc-3.2 or 2>/root/Desktop/el1.
mplayer compiles just fine with Mandrakes gcc > 2.96. It even did then
as long as --disable-gcc-checking was used. I always need to check
the mplayer docs or run './configure --help' to figure out what
options to add, and there's a few that are documented yet.
IRRC, somethin like './configure --prefix=/usr --with win32
something, --with qtx codecs something was what I used. 'Course
you'll need to check that syntax ;) ... and have the various libs and
codecs installed before you compile, otherwise mplayer won't find
'em. I got tired of fooling with all the current config options and
now just use the rpms ;) Then too, the CVS isn't guaranteed to
compile, tho it usually does. Latest as of today is 20030108, so you
might wanna quit foolin with that old one you've got. IIRC, most of
the bugfixs in CVS are currently for DVD's and mencoder, but I don't
use either (so what'a I know ;)
One thing tho, if you tried, even unsuccesfully to compile
mplayer, then in the mplayer src dir, delete 'config.h' before you
try again. Also, I always run ./configure and make as user, only
su'ing to root for make install (as with all tarballs).
