Good.|:)|

Previos  SVN I downloaded, has missing file. Is it a normal situation (I'm

check your man folders for mplayer.1 and mencoder.1 Should be present in
your compilation for the most recent documentation

Just use the latest that compiles and builds with mingw. Some of the latest
won't compile.

Personally I used the next:

> libvorbis-1.1.2
> libtheora-1.0-alpha4
> libiconv-1.11
> freetype-2.3.2

> libpng-1.2.16
> jpegsrc-v6b
> libregif-4.1.7
> nasm-0.98.39


 That's about the latest that will work. 98.39

lame-3.97


That's what I use

xvidcore-1.1.2




x264-svn-2007-04-02


 I use the  latest : svn  672

live-2007-02-20


live 2007 05 24 works

Appreciate it if you'll let me know what packages versions are correct now.


There's no really set answer as to what is correct. But I suspect new mingw
compilers would prefer to have an up-to-date HOWTO that would list the
latest working packages and list some of the more common pitfalls: e.g.
which version of make to use if the newer version fails, keeping spaces out
of the user name.

Thanks a lot to all, who helped me to understand what is my problem's
