[MPlayer-cygwin] MultiByteToWideChar et al.

[Ulf-Dietrich Braumann]

I simply enjoy using mplayer under Cygwin, in particular for some opus 
based radio streams. Since a few weeks mplayer version 1.3 fails with 
these for some unknown reason. I found a mplayer.exe binary of version 1.4 
for 64bit Windows which in turn works with the abovementioned opus 
streams. So I thought I build 1.4 under cygwin, but got the problems 
mentioned in the subject line.

I of course can use the Windows command line to run version 1.4 from now 
on. However, I think there is some improper platform detection mechanism 
in the sourcecode of 1.4, which assumes to have Windows instead of Cygwin. 
I am not an experienced C programmer to really locate the problem.

Do you suggest to crosscompile mplayer 1.4 under MinGW for Cygwin?

Thanks for your comment - UD
