Hi Luke
I too am interested in compiling under windows, though I would prefer to
be independent of cyqwin. It is beeing down because DVDStyler and
DVDAuthorGUI both distribute with windows executables, which are not
dependant on cygwin.dll.
I started with jpeg-mmx and found there were two major problems when
using GNU C ( cygqin or mingw). Firstly autoconf set ASMFLAGS to "-f
elf" as is appropriate for a linux environment rather than "-f coff" or "-f
win32". It did look for and environment variable CYGWIN to configure
this but my cygwin does not set this. The second was the GNU C
compiler does prepend underscore to externals when used on windows
but does not when using the elf format. Consequently every call to
assembly code results in a linker error. This could be easily fixed with
the __asm__ ("label") construction.
After fixing these jpeg-mmx compiles ok and runs the included tests.
I have only just started looking at Mjpegtools itself but would be happy
to work with anyone interested.
Searching this archive and the developers achive doesn't find much
interest in windows ports for the last couple of years, and the signup
pages would suggest that " longer discussions are discouraged" so I am
not sure if this list is the correct forum. Perhaps the group can indicate
their thoughts on this.
