It does not build at all in 8.3.
Unexpected. Worked in previous build... *Checking* Confirmed. I do see 2
issues, only the first kept me from building MPlayer-1.3.0 and it's not
mplayers fault. What exactly is your problem with it? Some ass_* linking
error as for me? Comparing with the previous build logs shows: ass_*
requires freetype, MPlayer does not detect freetype anymore, because
/usr/bin/freetype-config is missing. The differences between previous
freetype-2.9.1 build (installing freetype-config) and current
freetype-2.9.1 build (not installing freetype-config any more) are really
minor. Looks like some relative vs absolute path change and the build
system not liking one of the variants. No idea whose fault this
is, but manually copying freetype-2.9.1/builds/unix/freetype-config to
/usr/bin fixes it for me and MPlayer builds fine again. [I also see some
libavformat version mismatch, but thats a runtime rather than a build
issue.]
I don't really have a problem with archiving MPlayer, but we should not do
it for above reason. The reason for me to occasionally use mplayer is less
dependencies, e.g. it's usable (though less comfortable than other
players) before compiling qt5.

Uwe
