The latest ffmpeg port has an issue with patching the libswscale makefile and would fail to build.

The issue is described here: https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/16101/

There are proposed patches to fix this patching problem and I'm still trying to understand how to get them to work. I'll give you guys an update once I figure it out.

This issue doesn't seem to affect mplayer. It uses its own configure/Makefile and doesn't use the ffmpeg one.

Though there's another problem if you want to compile from 10.5 against the 10.4 SDK. The linker will complain about undefined symbols ending with $UNIX2003 that are only present in 10.5 and not in the 10.4 SDK. To fix this, remove all _XOPEN_SOURCE defines from the code. They force the use of the $UNIX2003 versioned symbols and there seems to be little incentive to fix this from the part of the ffmpeg developers since this is a stupidity from OSX.
So, in the future, any 10.4 compliant compile off ffmpeg from 10.5 will need to patch those defines first.

Will there be an updated 2009 edition of this HOWTO?

For one thing, it seems that the original config options

Code:

--with-extraincdir=/opt/local/include --with-extralibdir=/opt/local/lib

no longer work; they need to be replaced with

Code:

--extra-cflags="-I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib"

And since the new rev 9 of MPlayer OS X Extended has experimental support for multithreaded ffmpeg, it would be nice to have instructions to build the multithreaded version of ffmpeg as well.

The most current guide is on the MPlayer OSX Extended Trac:
http://mplayerosx.sttz.ch/trac/wiki/...eMPlayerShared

Though that's not up-to-date anymore since I don't do any shared builds anymore. The static guide is basically how I do my builds (and there's also a build script in the SVN):
