[Libav-user] How can i get just basic info from an input video file by ffmpeg?

[Amir Rouhi-Rmit]

I am using DEV  C++ developer under windows. Here i cant find any .lib files
like old borland c compilers.
What i have done step by step is:

Open ffmpeg.c file in DEV C++ compiler.
Set Include directory from tools/compiler options/ directories to
ffmpeg/libavcodec.
(There is a another setting place for libraries which i dont know i should
set it to which directory.)
Compile the program.

I get some compiler error such as:
"Line 30 In file include c:\.......libavutil\avutil.h"
Whats your advice?
