I get this when emreging the new mplayer:

msmpeg4.c: In function `msmpeg4_pred_dc':
msmpeg4.c:720: error: can't find a register in class `GENERAL_REGS' while
reloading `asm'

!!! ERROR: media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre6-r4 failed.

on a toshiba a40 laptop with Intel Celeron processor. Any idea?

Hi
I had the same problem, but playing with USE flags didn't help. Get the
sources and compile mplayer by hand. That helped me. Any other idea what
to do would help me also so I'll wait for further answers.

Hi, just what I do to make mplayer compile ok.

If you have any of there in /etc/make.conf then just uncomment these lines,
and emerge mplayer.

#CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -march=pentium4 -pipe"
#LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed"

Remember to re-enable the lines after emerge of mplayer.

Well,
"custom-cflags"
Have you looked at this USE flag for mplayer?

"cat /usr/portage/profiles/use.* |grep -i cflags"
media-video/mplayer:custom-cflags - Enables custom cflags

However, still this is what I do before emerging mplayer
Compiling mplayer by use of emerge works just fine for me when, running
without settings for CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (in /etc/make.conf - "emerge
--info" show ALL the current settings).

Ok, that did work, thanks. But is seems not to be a clean Gentoo way?

I know, but have so far only found workarounds for emerge.
* My old believe in this situation was that the portage system and emerge in
particular needs support to handle CFLAGS and LFLAGS per *.ebuild package.
* This understanding of the situation has changed into that I now believe
that it is the mplayer .ebuild package that has to be more smart.

I will, when I know more about portage and ebuild's, probably find the
"real" understanding of this and a solution... but things takes time.

Anyone having suggestions of what to read to get more information on portage
and writing ebuild's?

Write your own /etc/portage/bashrc which sets up the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
based on entries in some file like /etc/portage/package.cflags
There are such scripts already in the net, and you can easily simplify
them for your needs.
