Building Mplayer
Build Environment Setup
To build mplayer you need to download and install msys.
Get MingW 4.1.0 from SourceForge (http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-4.1.0.exe?download)
Run and Choose Full (It will download about 45mb in total)
Get MSYS from SourceForge (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download)
Install MinGW to C:\MinGW (The root is the best place)
Install MSYS
Complete the questions you get after the install in a command window
Get GCC Core 3.4.4 from SourceForge (http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-core-3.4.4-20050522-1.tar.gz?download)
Extract GCC-Core to a temporary folder, then copy bin,lib and libexec to the MinGW folder and overwrite
You should now have both the source and the building environment to compile a Mplayer.dll
Making the Mplayer.dll
This part of the how to assumes that you did install MinGW to C:\MinGW and download Mplayer to c:\mplayer-xbmc
Run MSYS.BAT (located in C:\Msys\Msys.bat)
Command Window should show type cd /c/mplayer-xbmc
Type ./configurexbmc --disable-libavformat (Use the --disable-libavformat to shrink the dll further. May cause compability issues with certain codecs, yet to be determined)
Wait till that finshes, with luck it should have no errors/problems
Type make
Type makedll
Type exit
