This removes the rather complicated configure and Makefile parts related to auto-detecting available languages for manpages and locales. We don't have non-English manpages or any locales, so this is pointless. It didn't even work: configure --language=all created an invalid config.mak that would cause "make install" to fail. Remove installation of locales. There are no translations at all which could be installed. Should there ever be someone who is interested in adding translations, this can be added back in a simpler way. Rename the --enable-translation configure option to --enable-gettext. This is what this option really does: enable gettext() use. This may be interesting for people who want to experiment with localizing mpv, but is entirely useless for normal use. Remove detection of the binary codecs directory in configure.
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 (for libass) - libfontconfig (for libass) - 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.
