Bash could not execute make, try 'bash -x make.exe > make.txt 2>&1'. 
Also are you using Vista by any chance?

The mingw installer recomends not placing make.exe under mingw, put it 
under msys instead.

I'm not really familiar with docbook, I'm still having problems getting 
it to work under mingw. The Cygwin version works without any problems, 
just fire up cygwin bash and build the docbooks from there.

Hi,

I removed "typedef unsigned long int ogg_uint64_t;" from lib/dsp.h to 
make it compile with ogg. Did you do the same?

You put the whole live555 dir as /usr/local/live. More info here:

http://www.live555.com/mplayer/

You may add --with-extraincdir=/path/to/live555 if the above does not 
solve your problem.

About the missing libtheora, for some reason configure did not pass 
-logg to gcc while testing linking to libtheora. Earlier header checks 
did not even specify libtheora.

You don't seem to have pkg-config, mplayer configure seems to make use 
of it for some of its autodetect routine. pkg-config makes checking for 
appropriate cflags and library dependency detection easy. pkg-config can 
be found here.

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html

Put pkg-config.exe in your /mingw/bin dir. It requires the dlls from 
glib-2.12.13.zip and gettext-0.14.5.zip. You only need these runtime 
packages.

After that try recompiling libtheora, which also uses pkg-config so it 
finds libogg. Test libtheora by using the following command.

$ pkg-config --libs theora

It should return something like this.
-Lc:/mingw/lib -ltheora -logg

If it returns

Package theora was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `theora.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to your libtheora install prefix 
libdir/pkgconfig, eg /mingw/lib/pkgconfig.

Well, its fine either way. Building a dll requires all undefined symbols 
to be resolved at compile time, ensuring the compile phase went 
correctly, all symbols expected from a library package is present and 
usable. Using dlls may cause further complications such as relocation 
address and base addresses, etc.

You can always remove the corresponding lib*.dll.a files so only static 
.a libs are used.

Thank you very much for the mirror!!

Hope I can help.
