________________

I am trying to help a friend in _his_ attempt to make a new DOS MPLAYER.EXE

Could you please elaborate on the environment you used back in 2012 ?

Did you use the DJGPP ports of MAKE & GCC by using all of this ?
http://glennmcc.dynu.com/my-stuff/DJGPP_Zip_File_Picker_Results-for_WinXP.html
(of-course the older versions available back then, not these newer ones)

______
Or were they the Windows ports ?

IE: for MinGW or Cygwin ?

Thank you in advance.

I built it in Windows XP SP3 using djdev 2.04 and the latest DJGPP ports of the GNU tools available at that time, I can't remember the versions, but you can find them e.g. at http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/djgpp/deleted/v2gnu/ (look at the date).

Thank you very, very much.

That (almost), confirms the advice I gave to Larry on my board yesterday.

IIUC, just remove '/beta' from this list of URLs
and grab the versions from somewhere near the end of 2011

If you're gonna' use the older djdev204.zip instead of djdev205.zip
You'll want to also use the older versions of everything else from
the same time period in these directories rather than those in the
'current' directory.

You are welcome! In fact I think that in my message above I made a mistake and you were right in your advice re: '/beta', IIRC the files for djdev 2.04 were those in the '/beta' directory. So please replace the link I previously provided with http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/djgpp/deleted/beta/v2gnu/ (this one is the fastest for me).

So, it looks as-if the list I posted yesterday for Larry was correct after-all.

Thank you again.

BTW,

I know I'm grasping at straws here but,

Even tho it has now been over 10yrs...

You wouldn't by chance happen to still have your entire DJGPP setup that was
used for MPLAYER.EXE lurking around somewhere that you'd be willing to share ?

That would save Larry a TON of time in trying to track down all of the
correct versions of these libraries that are listed in config.mak which
then get linked into the completed MPLAYER.EXE

-lwatt
-liconv
-lpng
-lmng
-ljpeg
-ljpeg
-lopenjpeg
-lwss
-lfreetype
-ltheoradec
-logg
-lxvidcore
-lgthreads
-lvpx
-lvbe
-lx264

Unfortunately I no longer have that setup, but for the libraries you listed, apart from two or three that aren't even important and which at the time I quickly compiled from the original source packages without any modifications, either the source with my modifications can be found in the archive you have or usable DJGPP binaries are already available online (see for example http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/djgpp/deleted/beta/v2tk/).

Yes...

These are in your 2012 archive...

libvbe, libwss & threads

I already found WATT32 & PNG for Larry.

The rest should be easy to find.

Thank you again for all of this assistance.

Didn't you try to compile it yourself some months ago? If I remeber you gave up because of some crashes at compiling, am I right? Good luck for him.

Yep... I gave up on it way back in November.

However.... Larry has badgered me into not just helping him but also giving it another try myself.

But just like last October & November.... even tho we now have installed and
are using all of the same versions of DJGPP which were used by Khusraw
back in Jan of 2012 along with the same mplayer source code that he provided,
still no success in achieving a fresh compile of MPLAYER.EXE

I suppose this is actually a Linux problem.

However, IIRC, others here at DAD use dosemu on Linux
and even run the DOS version of DJGPP within dosemu

So, here goes...

WTF ?!?!

This is the result of my latest failed attempt to build MPLAYER.EXE for DOS
