    For Me

    For me the problem is the -s or silent option in the time-compile-mplayer command. Just running the same commands that script does without timing gives me wild results sometimes works, sometimes dont. It is never silent. Running the script time-compile-mplayer without the -s option is silent anyway. I would guess that may be a make bug? Anyway silent or -s seems uneeded and since Michael assumed the -jX was the problem he fell back to -s which is problem no matter with or without the -j option. But just running with make -j5 gives me more real results. Seems to end with encoder or mencoder right?
    Anyway there's my 2 cents.

    ./phoronix-test-suite run universe-cli
    or
    ./phoronix-test-suite run multicore

    I get the mplayer build not completing and giving false results like

    Code:
    
    ======================================
    Timed MPlayer Compilation (Run 1 of 1)
    ======================================
    
    MPlayer Build Time: 10.51 Seconds
    
    ====================================
    Timed MPlayer Compilation:
    Time To Compile
    
    10.51 Seconds
    
    Average: 10.51 Seconds
    ====================================
    If I run just the mplayer compilation test on it's own or in some other suites I get more realistic results.

    ./phoronix-test-suite run build-mplayer
    or
    ./phoronix-test-suite run compilation


    Code:
    ======================================
    Timed MPlayer Compilation (Run 1 of 1)
    ======================================
    
    MPlayer Build Time: 85.05 Seconds
    
    ====================================
    Timed MPlayer Compilation:

    Average: 85.05 Seconds
    ====================================

    This is with using a clean install of the suite .7 version. All other tests complete fine and give realistic results. It's just mplayer in certain suites.

      Edit: Yes sometimes the time-compile-mplayer would work but for me it was completly random but it I just ran phoronix-test-suite run build-mplayer it seemed to work more than not. Where like compile or multicore would fail more than not evem though it is first in all those I belive.

        Ok something else , if I run the commands manually from
        time-compile-mplayer (without the -s ) it works consistantly.

        If I run the script without the -s it fails the second time
        consistantly. Almost as if it is not really doing the
        rm -rf MPlayer-1.0rc2/
        so it is not a clean
        install. Indeed if I run the time-compile-mplayer script then go
        in and do a make clean then run it again it works everytime.
        I know this is NOT true cause if I throw in a make clean when it changes dirs then it errors out cause there is nothing to clean.

        I would say this is impossible. What are the odds? 100% I guess.

        Anyway the commands work manually but not in the script, timing issue?

          Running universe-cli I get similar problems:
          I'm also getting similar problems with build-php and build imagemagick. It just seems to be way too quick on some boxes. A single core opteron box beat a quad core xeon tigerton box by 50 seconds!

          I think i've got the same issue, On a dual netburst Xeon (dell 1850) PTS 0.7 I get :

          ======================================
          Timed MPlayer Compilation (Run 1 of 1)
          ======================================

          MPlayer Build Time: 20.82 Seconds

          20.82 Seconds

          Average: 20.82 Seconds
          ====================================
          Build-php and build-imagmagick give perfectly reasonable results.

          and on a dell 1950mk3 dual harpertown (latest phorogit at the time 22/05) I get:

          ======================================
          Timed MPlayer Compilation (Run 1 of 1)

          Running just build-mplayer still gives a silly result

            I think I'll be dropping mplayer in favor of another program, until those mplayer issues are sorted out... Anyone have a particular request for its replacement?

              apache could always build vlc if you want to keep the media app thing..? I don't know how big it is. Ideally the bigger the better I think...

                A C++ app would be nice.

                  I think you want to stay away from a project that uses alot of external deps. IIRC VLC has quite a few maybe, perhaps, just ffmpeg.

                    In git the -s argument is dropped on build-mplayer to see if it fixes that. I also added in a build-apache test.

                      I already tried that Michael, it doesn't help. Another project that builds fine without alot of deps is postgresql.
