[MPlayer-cygwin] Compilation options and tips

[christophe.perinaud@free.fr]

Hi,

I am able to compile mplayer now. I used that options to configure it :
configure --with-codecsdir=./codecs --datadir=. --with-win32libdir=./codecs

Just i still have few pbs with it :
- For some videos it can't find the codecs. Mplayer is installed in his own directory. With all codecs in a subfolder (named codecs) and configuration files in another subfolder (named mplayer). I am using the extralite pack and the latest win32 dll pack and codecs.conf from the etc folder.
- I would like to enable OSD so i used the --enable-menu with the configure script. I get a compilation error in the subfolder libmenu :
gcc -c -O4 -march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I. -I.. -I../libmpcodecs  -Wall  -o menu_console.o menu_console.c
