Building MPlayer on OS X

Theres going to be a lot more here but first i have to say that there was an error when compiling for jpeg use:

ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can’t load from it)

this was a bit strange until i found an article which helped me solve the problem. what this message is saying is that my table of contents is out of date. all i need to do is rerun some program called ranlib on it.

I think this happened because i had installed GImp already and so probably had an old version of libjpeg so when i built and installed a new one something out of date.

anyway i have to go now but will see if it compiles later.

Some generally interesting agile stuff…

So am getting fully back into the world of commercial software and enjoying soaking up new stuff again.

on my firefox tabs i have:

leaky abstractions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_abstraction

some QA TOOLS:

and also been looking at JBehave and Behaviour Driven Design – where the tests disappear and you simply have behaviours which define the code.
