Too bad. I suggested it because I had a problem (which I have not reported yet)
using the new tv:// support on Windows. There were some problems with the
dshow driver, but in the end, it works only if I use -vo gl2 (or gl). The developer
told me that it seems that there is a problem with -vo directx, so I should report it.

That's strange. I have compiled practically every library used by MPlayer that can be
compiled on Windows with MinGW/MSYS. I always --enable-static. Occasionally,
I have to edit the .pc files in /usr/locla/lib/pkgconfig because they don't list all the
libraries that are really needed. For example, I think that I had to add -lexpat to
fontconfig.pc. Rarely, I have had to edit the MPlayer configure script to make it detect
 libraries.

Maybe you should 'make distclean' and start over.
