Hi,

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'll try that... and it does let the build complete.
Not a package I particularly care about, but I noticed that Arch is
using a numbered development version - i.e. svn. Going to mplayer's
site and getting the latest svn snapshot, then looking at the log:

configure: Use pkg-config if freetype-config is unavailable
Currently we only try to use freetype-config, but freetype-config
is deprecated by upstream. Starting soon freetype-config will
not be installed by typical freetype builds anymore.
Use pkg-config if freetype-config is not available. This
is identical to how we treat dvdnav-config and dvdread-config.
Fixes ticket #2340
So, after reminding myself how to look at what changed in a
particular revision:
ken@milliways /scratch/ken/mplayer-subversion/mplayer-checkout-2018-08-24 $svn
diff -c r38021 .

Obviously, I haven't tried building with that, but it seems simpler
than hacking freetype-config!
I am just about ready to commit changes for mplayer. I modified
freetype to copy freetype-config. It works so lets let it go for the
8,3 release. Hopefully mplayer will release a new tarball in the next
six months.
