mpv 0.8.3 - main.log

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

Thanks for this great bug report!

Upstream only supports 10.8 and up.

I am aware of the configure failure on Lion, but haven't found out why it's happening in the first place.

If you check $(port work mpv)/mpv-0.8.3/build/config.log, you'll see that it's failing to link libarclite. However, Xcode should provide libarclite just fine.

I have no machine with 10.7 and no resources for a VM, so debugging this problem is very difficult for me.

[creativecommon@…]

Thanks for the quick response ionic!, really appreciate it.

Upon seaching I found these links :

Fails to compile on OS X < 10.8 ​https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/117

Possible Fix? : ​https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/0407869ae3aeea0d015b18bd8a901034ed45e76f

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

Nah, that commit is long part of mpv. I guess I can try to force-add the Xcode SDK lib path, but will need to check how other ports are doing that -- if there even are other ports doing that.

Can you find out where exactly on your system libarclite is? All locations if possible.

[creativecommon@…]

I found the following file :

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Looks like people were having similar issues with libarclite on Lion --> #36443

Added: Also found one in :

/usr/lib/arc/libarclite_macosx.a

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

Okay, thanks.

I guess I understand what's going on now. We'll likely have to compile with the compiler provided by Xcode's command line tools. The only problem is that this will not be possible on 10.6 and below, but I can work around that.

Okay, will try to craft something up "tomorrow".

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

The Lion buildslave was happy with my changes, mpv completed successfully. Also on Mavericks and Yosemite.

This should be fixed in r136695.

Please wait half an hour, sync and try it out.

[creativecommon@…]

Yep, I was able to compile and run mpv successfuly.

Thanks again Ionic, really appreciate it.

PS: I was wondering if I can compile mpv, without the player window (cocoa/Mac window decorator) which popups up when I play a file. As I use dwm (tiling window manager) and love how mplayer fits nicely into a tiled window, with out any new windows opening outside the context of the tiling window manager.

Is the above possible with mpv?, what options should I be passing during compilation to achieve this. TIA

[creativecommon@…]

Nevermind figured out.

Had to pass -vo=x11 as option ($mpv -vo=x11 blah.mpg )

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

Yep, if dwm is an X11 application, you'll want to

• install mpv with at least the additional x11 variant (opengl is already enabled by default), e.g.:

  sudo port -svt upgrade --enforce-variants mpv +x11
  

  (it looks like you already have that in place, so feel free to skip it)
• for the best experience, use something like

  mpv -vo=opengl-hq:backend=x11 blargh.mkv
  

  at runtime. The "normal" x11 vo is unaccelerated and very slow.

Does that work as you'd expect it?

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

If it works fine, you can also hardcode this in ~/.mpv/config.

Note that I ship an example file, for more information please read:

Thanks! I made the modifications you suggested, and it works flawlessly. :)
