same error here. did you compile your glibc with nptl-support? i did and i read somewhere that breaks some packages.

Try compiling it without matroska support.

I don't know if mplayer's support is out of date as far as the latest stable version of libmatroska goes.. but it should compile if you take matroska out of your use flags.

Unfortunatuly, it didn't work for me. Can someone tell me what's the problem here?

It looks like you're having a totally different problem compared to the guy who started this thread.
Try cutting down your optimizations a bit and see if you can compile it then.

I know, but it was just the name of the topic that got me attracted, and I thought "what the heck, it is worth a shot". The ebuild says it doesn't use the CFLAGS, but commenting out all my use flags really did work.

I think that mplayer is a bit sensetive when it comes to the 'flags. :wink:

Helmers: have you got around your issue yet? I have the same compilation error as you do. Here is my `emerge info', in case it helps anyone. It would be nice if mplayer worked =).

Like I tried to say in my post, it worked. What I did was just comment out all my USE flags, by adding a "#" in front of each line of USE flags in /etc/make.conf, then I removed it when mplayer had finished the installed.

It still gave me ALSA and aalib support, I suspect that it uses some magic to detect these things without setting USE flags. The CFLAGS shouldn't matter, since the ebuild claims it doesn't read them.

The reason for the inability to compile it is probably a single USE flag, but I don't have the skill to make an educated guess, so I would spend forever tracking it down. (it is not "matroska" that is the cuplrit, I tried with it negated)

Geez, my english is very bad, I really need a spellchecker. Glad you got my point anyway. :wink:

(I'm not a Gentoo user, but I'm the one who has written the Matroska demuxer)

1) MPlayer 1.0pre3 does not work with the current libmatroska, v0.6.3.
2) MPlayer's current CVS code has two Matroska demuxers: one ('external Matroska support') that works with the current libmatroska, and one ('internal Matroska support') that doesn't even need libmatroska anymore. If not changed with the appropriate configure option the internal one is used.
3) If you want to get MPlayer 1.0pre3 to work with libmatroska 0.6.3 just apply this patch: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/sources/mplayer1.0pre3-libmatroska063.diff in MPlayer-1.0pre3/libmpdemux/
