[MPlayer-cygwin] Re: builds but thinks avi file has errors

[Sycotic Smith]

First off, the problems ARE in TFM/TFDocs in one form or another.
If you did not install the directx headers to /usr/include OR /usr/local/include as the DX docs indicate (if memory serves me correct...) you would have no problems.  If you put them elsewhere, as it seems you say you did, you MUST do the following:

--with-extraincdir=/path/to/directx/files    example: --with-extraincdir=/usr/local/share/directx

As for the inttypes.h file:
1) Remove the /usr/include/inttypes.h file currently there.
2) cd into mplayer topdir.
3a) cp etc/cygwin_inttypes.h /usr/include/inttypes.h   OR
3b) ln -s etc/cygwin_inttypes.h /usr/include/inttypes.h
4) ./configure 00with-extraincdir=/your/path/to/directx-headers <your other options>
5) make && make install
6) Enjoy.
7) Rejoice, as you now *should* have a working mplayer in cygwin.
