Following these advices I did not succeed compiling a mplayer with gui on my
system.
PIII 550, Win98, cygwin is current, one week old.
1) I have installed the glib, glib-devel, gtk+ and gtk+-devel from
cygnome.sourceforge.net
2)
$
./configure --enable-gui --with-extraincdir=/opt/gnome/include --prefix=/opt
/
mplayer_gui --with-codecsdir=codecs --enable-vidix
 I end up with a error:
...
Checking for gethostbyname2 ... no
Checking for GUI ... yes
Checking for XShape extension ... yes
Checking for gtk version ...
Error: The GUI requires GTK devel packages (which were not found).

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.
$

The configure.log just stops after the headline.

Nothing more!
xorg-x11  is 6.7.0.0-x including the devel-packs. x11 is detected and
enabled by the configure script.
omitting --enable-gui will make mplayer configure no GUI, as was to be
expected.
Checking for GUI ... no
mplayer from cvs some minutes ago
omitting --enable-vidix did not help
cp -r /opt/gnome/incule /user/include did not help
--with-extraincdir=/opt/gnome/include/gtk-1.2/gtk did not help
Any suggestions what might be wrong?
