It seems that this Win98 doesn't have directx installed.

Thank you. A Windows 98 user has tested it and it seems it works ok, although 
there are still some minor problems (like a ms-dos window that appears when 
mplayer is executed).

Is there some document which explains how to compile mplayer using cygwin? 
(the packages required and so on) 
If it's not so difficult maybe I could do it myself, trying different options 
until I could get a build that works reasonably well under Windows 98.
