> 1. I did get GGI to compile, but at the time I did not have the DX headers installed, so I had to disable several portions of GGI.  Do a search on the www for "dxlibs.zip" and "directx-devel.tar.gz" and you may get lucky... I can send them if they are not still out there, I lost the page where I got them.  That being said, t still has not given me any video yet, seems I don't know the correct options to give it to create output window(s)...
For archiving, it compiles with the directx headers on the libsdl site :)
(I don't know if it works yet, though :)

I saw that, and someone replied that it was bad.. and the thread stopped here :)

> 3. Yes, output will not show up, and this is normal for a Wind*ws app.  To fix, just remove the -mwindows from the SDL_LIB line in config.mak as well as mingw.
I did all you said in this message.
Before that, mplayer didn't link in the last phase. Now it linked, but it
obviously doesn't work.

Mmmm just watched the config.mak. you said that line 52 should be :
SDL_LIB = -L/usr/local/lib -lSDL -mwindows -mcygwin

and line 73 :
SDL_INC = -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/SDL -Dmain=SDL_main -DWIN32 -Uunix

Should I remove -mwindows ?
(I'm really bad with these conflicting libraries ... :)
