MPlayer on Mac OS X Out of the Box?!

After giving media-video/mplayer a shot without any patches whatsoever, it somehow compiled out of the box. I recall this not to be the case way back when I first took a look at it earlier this year.

Looks like Apple’s new dev tools are a bit more complacent.

More to come shortly. Once I get done with my mid-terms, I should be good to get some Gentoo work done (read: try to get MPlayer keyworded).

    “I compiled MPlayer out of the box, what did you get… I got a rock…”

    Sorry had to make the joke. Nice Peanuts theme.

    Jane: I do use MPlayer OS X (basically a cocoa gui wrapped around a precompiled mplayer binary), but I was looking for a home-rolled mencoder binary, really. It’d be nice to have an optimized mencoder binary for when i do ripping/encoding.

    postmodern: Thanks! More theming to come…
