mplayer on tiger fails to download and install

[aIgarcia]

Fresh Tiger installation on PowerBook G4. Xcode 2.5, tigerbrew installed. curl and git installed as well, so far so good.

Python installed fine, however mplayer fails. First it couldn't download the tar.xz due https conflict, I fixed that locally. Then it says /usr/sbin/pkgutil does not exist (and in fact it doesn't). I just copy the pkgutil from a Leopard installation.

So I go ahead to the wiki, run brew doctor and get this

cd /usr/local/Library && git stash && git clean -d -f

Stashing does nothing, brew doctor keeps showing this but more importantly I'm still unable to install mplayer

Hi kencu, could you please explain how to use this patch in conjunction with the tigerbrew commandline when installing mplayer? Thank you :)

I was able to modify this patch and add it to the mplayer.rb and it successfully passes this part of the build. However, I'm running into further issues with ld errors on the main executable. I'll continue trying to troubleshoot and will post an PR when it's working.

[mistydemeo]

Thanks so much! I'd really appreciate a patch. Feel free to open a WIP PR too.

I think patch can be downloaded from

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/macports/macports-ports/cb7a1cc812a77dfbcd06dcd56e646bb4497d0454/multimedia/MPlayer/files/patch-libvo-osx-objc-common-opengl-headers.diff

sha256sum patch-libvo-osx-objc-common-opengl-headers.diff
dcd77292195cde905cc2d16e9d6e075f69213dce6a15a18faa424ba24d22ca14  patch-libvo-osx-objc-common-opengl-headers.diff

then it probably must be inserted into mplayer.rb like this

patch :p0 do
    url "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/macports/macports-ports/cb7a1cc812a77dfbcd06dcd56e646bb4497d0454/multimedia/MPlayer/files/patch-libvo-osx-objc-common-opengl-headers.diff"

  end

not tested yet due to slow qemu virtual machine...

edit: it was p0 not p1
