>Description:
The current default configuration for multimedia/mplayer (1.x version of
mplayer) fails to enable the FriBiDi option by default.
I feel that this is a mistake, becuse the current smplayer port apparently
requires the presence of a mplayer which has been built with FriBiDi
support enabled. Thus, a default build & install of smplayer will fail
to run, because building & installing smplayer will caused mplayer (1.x)
to be built and installed *without* the required FriBiDi option. The
results will be an installed version of smplayer that simply doesn't
work.
>How-To-Repeat:
portinstall multimedia/smplayer
(then run smplayer)
>Fix:
See above.
