[MPlayer-cygwin] libmp3lame problem w/ solution

[Sycotic Smith]

Hello fellow cygwin lusers!

I came across a problem when I tried to use libmp3lame with mencoder, seems the lame/lame.h file that is installed has *NIX style #if's instead of portable ones.  If you are having the same problem of 'parse error before...' when trying to use this lib, here is what _I_ did to get it working.  If you want, I can try to make a patch and send it to the lame ml as well.  This is with latest (3.93) lame from their site.

<include>/lame/lame.h  (my system it is /usr/local/include/lame/lame.h)
Line 29 (old then new):
-#if defined(__cplusplus)
+#ifdef __cplusplus

Line 33:
-#if defined(WIN32)
+#ifdef __WIN32__

I deleted some white space, so the line number would be wrong here, basically you need to change the LAST if defined() line at the end of the file:
-#if defined(__cplusplus)
+#ifdef __cplusplus

If this is confusing, or if you wish me to make a patch to send to THIS list, let me know.  Otherwise, I'm going to make a patch and send to lame-ml only.

Good luck!
/S. Smith
