Problems compiling mplayer sources from the site.

[Martes Wigglesworth]

Thanks for the info about the questions list, a nice dude already let me
know about it.  

In reference to the ports system, 

I keep getting  make errors when trying to use the new port for
mplayer-1.0... 

I think that it uses make instead of gmake, because I got the same
errors until I remembered to use gmake.  I have gotten it to
compile/install from a gmake build, ports still does not work for me.

The error was evidently due to a miscellaneous directory having been
created in the compile directory for mplayer.  I found it and removed
it, and then proceeded with the install from the tared download from
mplayer.org.

Thanks for the reply, though.

Respectfully,
