Comment(by dizzy@…):
Ryan, thanks for the fix.
As to what ecronin said, I don't have a strong opinion on this but I'll
give my 2 cents (plus it's somewhat offtopic).
When I saw the warning after the successful install I gave it a thought. I
went with not bothering to install mplayer-devel instead because:
- it's not clear to me that is supposed to be at least as stable as
"mplayer", what if it's a snapshot of their SVN trunk or something like
that (usually "-devel" packages are); the last thing I needed after not
being able to compile it for months was to run into other issues because I
would be running alpha grade code; related to this, what is the update
policy of the "mplayer-devel" code, do they get in only minor code changes
(minimal impact, like a stable release would have) or as I said it's a
snapshot of their TRUNK and thus every time I run "port upgrade outdated"
I risk breaking my "mplayer"? That is, even if "mplayer" wasn't meant as a
stable release, just the fact that no updates are happening to it (other
than small fixes like those introduced by the MacPorts folks) makes it so.
- "mplayer" so far has worked very well for me and I don't have any bugs
or lack of features that would make me interested in an alternative (and
after all, the golden principle is "if it works, don't fix it"); however
I, had no idea that mplayer-devel would have solved the compile issue,
that would have been a good occasion to make the switch
