14 It might be easier if you just let Portage manage it:
15
16 eix win32codecs
17 * media-libs/win32codecs
18 Available versions: 20050216 *~20050412
19 Installed: 20050216
20 Homepage: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
21 Description: Win32 binary codecs for video and audio
22 playback support
23
24 and then made sure mplayer knew about it:
25
26 emerge -pv mplayer
27 These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
28
29 Calculating dependencies ...done!
30 [ebuild R ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7 -3dfx +3dnow +3dnowext +X
31 +aac +aalib +alsa (-altivec) -arts -bidi -bl +cdparanoia -cpudetection
32 -custom-cflags -debug +dga +directfb +divx4linux -doc +dts +dv +dvb +dvd
33 +dvdread +edl +encode +esd +fbcon +ggi +gif +gtk -i8x0 -ipv6 -jack
34 -joystick +jpeg +libcaca -lirc -live -lzo +mad +matroska -matrox +mmx
35 +mmxext -mythtv +nas +nls -nvidia +opengl +oss +png +real +rtc +samba
36 +sdl +sse +sse2 +svga +tga +theora +truetype +v4l +v4l2 +vorbis
37
38 +win32codecs
39
40 +xanim -xinerama +xmms +xv +xvid +xvmc 0 kB
41
42 Of course, if you emerge mplayer +win32codecs, then you don't have to
43 emerge the win32codecs package separately (unless you want it in your
44 world file), as it will then be pulled in as a dependency.
