#337 build fails when configured with '--disable-player' and / or '--disable-scenegraph'

[Jason Vas Dias]

For my work, we need only the MP4Box component of gpac, and we were building
gpac-4.5 - gpac-5.0 OK with the '--disable-player' configure option,
but now we are using new ffmpeg (2.2.9 or 2.4), and are forced to
get gpac 5.0.1+r5479 from SVN to enable compilation with this version
of the ffmpeg libraries, and now we find gpac is unable to compile at all
unless we have SDL-devel, wxWidgets-devel, and libmozjs-1.9.2-4.8
( ONLY from: https://code.google.com/p/packaging-spidermonkey/downloads/detail?name=libmozjs-1.9.2-4.8.tar.bz2 ).
This is in our view a major regression .
Here are our configure options and an excerpt from the build log:

The workaround for this is ensuring that SDL-devel, wxWidgets-devel, and
libmozjs-1.9.2-4.8 are installed, and NOT giving the
--disable-player --disable-scenegraph
options to configure. This is not an acceptable workaround for us.
The version of MP4Box we build goes onto a cloud services server
that does not even have a display card or graphics display attached, so
we really do not want to be forced to install large GUI display
libraries like wxWidgets and SDL just to obtain a working MP4Box .

Please restore ability to build gpac without player or scenegraph.

This is now fixed in rev 5584, thanks for reporting
