My box is a newly installed slack 12.1, but met problem when compile
MPlayer-1.0rc2. What I did is 'configure && make', the configure step
is okay, but got error in 'make':

vo_ivtv.c: in function 'ivtv_reset':
vo_ivtv.c:79: error: storage size of 'sd' isn't known
vo_ivtv.c:80: error: storage size of 'sd1' isn't known.

Did you have any success experience in doing this? Thanks.

Did configure spit out any warnings or errors?

when compiling vo_ivtv.c what gets spit out before it crashes? Sometimes
the compiler is really helpful in telling why it cannot compile... such as
missing or out of date files.

ran into the same problem. google(!) told me there's some problem in the
mplayer sources with ivtv support. either apply a patch (search google) or
simply disable ivtv support through configure.

Same problem here. Disable ivtv via "./configure --disable-ivtv"
and it should build. Unless you actually need ivtv of course, then
you'll have to google for the relevant patches.

From the web page:
The IVTV project develops a kernel driver for Linux and a driver for X11
for hardware based on Conexant's CX23415/CX23416 codec chip such as the
Hauppauge PVR 150/250/350/500 models and other supported hardware.

The project's name is derived from the chip's original naming as iTVC15.

I've successfully installed the mplayer using the slackbuild you
