hi,
I'd some more packages to be part of the official cygwin distribution
(installable via setup.exe). These packages are:
libao
libogg
libvorbis
vorbis-tools
libavcodec
freetype
mplayer
i already found a freetype package by Gerrit P. Haase but it is not yet
installable via setup (although Gerrit is already the Perl package
maintainer as far as i know).
My current knowledge does not suffice to be abled to compile clean
cygwin-builds. I get everything compiled together, but i have the
following problems:
- how to install files with "make install" in another directory than
root? i don't want to select all the files that belong to binary package
by hand.
- how do i build DLLs? i could compile libao, libogg and libvorbis but i
only get *.la and *.a files but no *.dll like i would expect. i thought
that this would be managed by autoconf/configure somehow, but it isn't
as it seems.
