Dear John,

I'm sorry, but I can't find a complete instruction... The doc I've found 
("ports.xml") only suggests to join to the Cygwin mailing list... not so 
quick way to get instructions... I've copied cygwin installation from 
another computer in order to do not download it over the Internet. Now I'm 
trying to run:

sh ./configure

from the MPlayer source directory, but it is terminated with some errors, 
starting from line #51:

./configure: line 51: $'\r': command not found

the same errors are shown in lines #55 and 58...  It looks like sh.exe does 
not like empty lines???
OK, I've inserted # as the first symbol... Now it says a strange line:

': not a valid identifierort: LC_ALL
./configure: line 61: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r'

unfortunately sh.exe makes output to stderr which I don't know how to 
redirect to a file... so I can't attach the full listing to this email.

Please help me to find a good instruction about how to startup!

Thanks!
