[MPlayer-cygwin] Compiling MPlayer with mp3lame support on MinGW

[Goran Katavic]

Hi! 

Can anyone help me with compiling MPlayer with mp3lame support on MinGW?
(Mplayer-1.0-pre3) 

I'm new in MinGW and windows compiling because I usualy use Linux. 

I compile lame 3.96 with ./configure --prefix =/mingw and make install
Aftter this i have files: 

/mingw/include/lame/lame.h 

/mingw/lib/libmp3lame.a
/mingw/lib/libmp3lame.dll.a
/mingw/lib/libmp3lame.la 


I tried test program (extracted from configure script): 

#include <lame/lame.h>
int main(void)
{
lame_version_t lv; 

(void) lame_init();
get_lame_version_numerical(&lv);
  printf("%d%d\n",lv.major,lv.minor);
return 0;
} 


First I tried (standard) dynamic linking: 

gcc lametest.c -o lametest -lmp3lame  (compiles OK)
./lametest 

Windows says: This application has failed to start because
             libmp3lame-0.dll was not found.
(Why it is not compiled and installed with lame's make install)? 


Then I tried static linking: 

gcc lametest.c -o lametest -lmp3lame -static  (compiles OK)
./lametest
396 

 

Ok, now i try to compile mplayer:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-runtime-cpudetection --enable-largefiles 

It didn't detect mp3lame support! 

So i decided to manualy edit configure script and changed to this: 

 # Note: libmp3lame usually depends on vorbis
 cc_check -lmp3lame $_ld_vorbis -lm && ( "$TMPO" >> "$TMPLOG" 2>&1 ) && 
_mp3lame=yes
 _mp3lame=yes
   _def_mp3lame="#define HAVE_MP3LAME 396"
   _def_cfg_mp3lame="#define CONFIG_MP3LAME 396"
   _ld_mp3lame="-lmp3lame $_ld_vorbis"
 echores "$_mp3lame" 

After this configure script detected mp3lame support. 

make (compiles OK - after i modified vd_lcl.c for Z_?_COMPRESS
     and changed index to strchr in libmpdemux/cookies.c) 

./mplayer.exe returns (again):
This application has failed to start because libmp3lame-0.dll was not found. 


Second try (static cpompile):
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-runtime-cpudetection --enable-largefiles 
 --enable static 

At the end (when linking mplayer.exe) happens this:
gcc -O4 -march=i486 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer 
 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -Ilibmpdemux -Iloader -Ilibvo

It seemts that libmp3lame.a conflicts with MPlayer's libMP3.a.
So i decided to manualy edit conflicted variables in libMP3 and change them
to mp_variable_name. 

After this mplayer.exe compiled OK and everything works normal. 

But obviously - this is not a way to compile MPlayer, so I'm asking for help
how to compile it without those "ugly" modifications. 

Thanks for any help!
