I've downloaded libebml and libmatroska, configured, compiled, and installed them with no problems. The configure script of mplayer detected matroska was installed and enabled support. But during the mplayer make, I got this error message:

CODE

I looked in the demux_mkv.cpp file and it had included the matroska/KaxCuesData.h header which has the definition for the KaxCueReference class. So did I do something wrong?

Oh, never mind. I finally worked it out. I commented out the #if MATROSKA_VERSION >= 2

But was I supposed to do that?

EDIT: Well I didn't get very far

CODE

libmpdemux/libmpdemux.a(demux_mkv.o)(.text+0x7b2a): In function `parse_cues(mkv_demuxer*, unsigned long long)':
: undefined reference to `libmatroska::KaxCueReference::ClassInfos'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mplayer] Error 1
Exit 2

You have three options, but I'll only list two as I don't recommend the third.

1) Use the current CVS version of mplayer as it contains both a fix for this problem and even a new Matroska demuxer that doesn't need libmatroska anymore.

2) Apply this patch to mplayer1.0pre3: http://bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/so...atroska063.diff

Thank you!! I took the first option and it works perfectly. Now I can play my matroska files in Linux
