Trying to build Mplayer with enable-aa

Question

My son wants to watch video in ascii mode, but the arch version of mplayer is compiled without support for aalib. I've tried to make my own version
using the current pkgbuild and changing "--disable-aa" to "--enable-aa", but after a while of compiling, the build aborts with the following:

==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
Can someone help me out here? I imagine the answer is simple, but I can't get past this stage.
