Issue compiling mplayer-checkout-2010-10-23 on ARMv7

Dear all,

I have a sharp PC-T1, with ubuntu jaunty, which doesn't have mplayer packaged.
I took the mplayer-checkout-2010-10-23 tarball and tried to compile it, without success.

When compiling for ARM you always have to specify the target CPU type via --extra-cflags.

Using the following command line to configure, then make, halts on an error

$>./configure --disable-largefiles --disable-mencoder --prefix=/home/ycaniou/bin/mplayer
--extra-cflags="-march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -pipe"
--enable-armvfp --enable-neon
[...]

Thanks for any help.

Reimar, does that mean a libavcodec patch is necessary?

Possibly. Or there is just something strange with that specific compiler.
I don't know for sure...

Do you have a possibility to test?
(Or could you look at http://fate.ffmpeg.org/ and see if similar hardware is
tested there?)

I suspect that at least the armv7a configs have neon enabled.
I don't know what the difference between these configs and the broken
MPlayer build is.
