[MPlayer-cygwin] Re: Mplayer compilation on Window - Newbie

[Rohan Shah]

I was at http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html Should I 
download the gtk+ and glib from here? or from 
http://web.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~s01397ms/cygwin/ here?

should i just unzip the sources and ./configure and make and make 
install? and then ./configure the mplayer sources and follow the rest of 
the instructions below?

thanks,

Rohan
