I configure with:
./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-static --enable-debug=3 --enable-menu 
--enable-gui --enable-dvdnav --codecsdir=codecs --extra-libs='-Llibdvdcss 
-ldvdcss'  > bugreport/configure.txt 2>&1
--enable-gui and --enable-menu are necessary. I use --enable-dvdnav
because configure did not autodetect the CVS version. It probably is no 
longer necessary.

In my configure.log, there are several unsuccessful attempts to find LIVE555 
until it tries /mingw/lib/live

============ Checking for LIVE555 Streaming Media libraries ============

#include <liveMedia.hh>
#if (LIVEMEDIA_LIBRARY_VERSION_INT < 1090195200)
#error Please upgrade to version 2004.07.19 or later of the "LIVE555 
Streaming Media" libraries - available from <www.live555.com/liveMedia/>
#endif
int main(void) {}

gcc -W -Wall ... -o /tmp/mplayer-conf-25421-728.o 
/tmp/mplayer-conf-740-728.cpp -I/mingw/include//liveMedia/include 
-I/mingw/include//UsageEnvironment/include 
-I/mingw/include//groupsock/include -lstdc++
C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/mplayer-conf-740-728.cpp:1:24: error: 
liveMedia.hh: No such file or directory
C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/mplayer-conf-740-728.cpp:3:2: error: 
#error Please upgrade to version 2004.07.19 or later of the "LIVE555

Actually, you will notice that the LIVE555 paths in the first test are badly 
formed.

/mingw/include//liveMedia/include

[more unsuccessful attempts follow]

#include <liveMedia.hh>
#if (LIVEMEDIA_LIBRARY_VERSION_INT < 1090195200)
#error Please upgrade to version 2004.07.19 or later of the "LIVE555 
Streaming Media" libraries - available from <www.live555.com/liveMedia/>
#endif
int main(void) {}

gcc -W -Wall ... -o /tmp/mplayer-conf-25421-728.o 
/tmp/mplayer-conf-740-728.cpp -I/mingw/lib/live/liveMedia/include 
-I/mingw/lib/live/UsageEnvironment/include 
-I/mingw/lib/live/groupsock/include -lstdc++

ldd /tmp/mplayer-conf-25421-728.o
./configure: ldd: command not found

Result is: yes (using /mingw/lib/live)

The only changes that I have had to make in the past few days were:
1) remove --with-livelibdir
2) copy live to /mingw/lib/live

Sorry, I don't know awk, sed, etc, and I don't know how to read a patch 
file, so I cannot understand what you are doing. If you changed configure, I 
would strongly encourage you to use the original configure.

Anyway, if you look at the first line:
for I in $_inc_extra "-I$_libdir/live" "-I/usr/lib/live" "-I/usr/local/live" 
"-I/usr/local/lib/live" ; do
you will see where it looks for live. Previously, you could put live 
anywhere and then specify the absolute path to it using --with-livelibdir, 
but now, the easiest thing to do is put it in one of those directories, and 
it will be autodetected. It works for me.

Yes. Windres is the resource compiler. In the case of MPlayer, it is used to 
add the MPlayer icon and version information to MPlayer.exe. If you are not 
on Windows and you are not cross-compiling, it should not be doing that.

For now, if you comment out the call to windres, and remove mplayer-rc.o 
from the link command, the build should continue.
