And why are you using wheezy anyway? It went EOL at the end of May 2018 so it's completely unsupported and the packages are riddled with vulnerabilities.
but that was not such a bright idea because ffmpeg did not find any packages like even basic liblamemp3 or the like.
with the help of wayback machine fortunately it is still accessible the older guides for compiling ffmpeg so with a bit of research it was quite doable to compile on my own ()
mainly just to convert videos into mp3 and the like
would like if possible to create a .deb out of the mpv-build so that i could easier install mpv on other computers?;
is that what you mean by backporting?
No, backporting is rebuilding a newer version in Debian from its debianized source code against your older libraries, so that the resulting deb packages are fully compatible with your system.
do you mean to backport eg. a mpv version found in say repository debian stretch > download the source.code from debian packages > and then "rebuild" this into a mpv compatible on every debian wheezy64bit?

I thought you wanted to use ffmpeg for file conversion. For that, just try downloading their static ffmpeg binary file into a folder and use that instead of the system ffmpeg. If you run the command in the same folder as the static ffmpeg, or give its full path, it will take precedence over the system version.
You may also look into Flatpack or AppImage versions of whatever packages you need, since Wheezy is unsupported.
I always wondered how came that the Debian version that got bundled with Jessie was allowed to be included in the repository - it seemed faulty from the beginning. (remember so many segmentation faults)
Built yesterday Mpv also on Powerpc64 for Wheezy - functions well - would be nice to have a guide to learn how to make a .deb out of it?
There's no easy way to "just make" a proper deb of it. You can make a half-assed deb with checkinstall, but it isn't really compatible with other computers like a proper deb would be.
You can try looking at some PPAs such for mpv source files that build with an included ffmpeg, and port those over to make proper debs like the ones in my repo--or even try rebuilding my Jessie source files on Wheezy. You can get them from the OBS without logging in there if you poke the right links or surf to the repository directly, and there's a basic guide to porting from PPAs in the Debian wiki.
