[MPlayer-users] directx support on cygwin

[Puneet Arora]

I'm trying to build mplayer under cygwin on Windows 7 x64. So far I've
run configure a couple of times, noting down libs that are not
supported and installing the libs to have them supported. I however
cannot get the directx support working. As per the directions, I
dumped the dx7 header files in the include folder before running
configure. However, config.log shows a bunch of parse errors in one of
the directx header files, because of which configure is reporting
directx as not supported. Could someone help? I've pasted a part of
config.log below. Thank you.
