Add helper function pkg_config_add() that checks for the presence of a package and also adds cflags/ldflags if it is found. Change existing pkg-config-using feature tests to use that. Also change the freetype test that used a separate libfreetype-config binary before; using pkg-config instead helps cross-compiling. Drop other kinds of checks (such as test compiles) from these tests. It's possible that this could cause problems on some (broken) systems, but that can't be verified without user testing.
Compiling with full features requires development files for several external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options, or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running './configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information about the reasons for the failure. Libraries specific to particular video output methods (you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv): - libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards) - libGL (OpenGL output) - libXv (XVideo output) general: - libasound (ALSA audio output) - various general X development libraries - libfreetype - libfontconfig - libass - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc) Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
