Section 8.15.1 (svgalib_helper) refers to "--with-extraincdir", which is no longer available.

[alessandro_pezzoni@…]

Under section 8.15.1 [1] of the MPlayer documentation is written:
"4. Then run configure again and pass the parameter --enable-svgalib_helper as well as --with-extraincdir=/path/to/svgalib_helper/sources/kernel/svgalib_helper, where /path/to/svgalib_helper/sources/ has to be adjusted to wherever you extracted svgalib_helper sources."

The config switch "--with-extraincdir" doesn't seem to be available anymore (in svn head) and trying to compile without it (but with "--enable-svgalib_helper") yelds the following error:

In file included from vidix/AsmMacros.h:80:0,

from vidix/dha.c:39:

vidix/sysdep/AsmMacros_x86.h:77:28: fatal error: svgalib_helper.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: * [vidix/dha.o] Error 1

I don't know how to fix this, so I don't know how to update the documentation, either.

Alessandro

change --with-extraincdir to --extraincdir

"./configure --help" output

[alessandro_pezzoni@…]

Sorry, maybe I didn't get it right. I tried substituting --with-extraincdir with --extraincdir, but I got this error:

Unknown parameter: --extraincdir=/tmp/bauerbill/build/aur/mplayer-svn/src/mplayer/include/svgalib_helper/

I am attaching the output of "./configure --help", maybe it will shed some light on this.

oops, i was wrong. from:

Replace --with-extraincdir option by --extra-cflags

[alessandro_pezzoni@…]

Thank you, --extra-cflags="-I/path/to/svgalib_helper/sources/" did the trick.
