which confdir to use when compiling on cygwin?

i cant figure it out, most of the binary packages have normal conf dirs
e.g. if mplayer.exe is in c:\mplayer\ then its c:\mplayer\mplayer\config
but my mplayer builds have the problem of using /cygdrive crap...

i'm sure there is a quick answer somewhere, but i havent seen it. i saw a patch
for the codecs dir on Gianluigi Tiesi 's win32 mplayer site. but not confdir...
i guess i could work his codecsdir into a confdir patch, but i'm not so great
with C.

any help would be appreciated. also accepting his patch into cvs would work
as well :)

The Cygwin port uses Unix-style paths.  Just run MPlayer from the Cygwin
command line.

Indeed, the behaviour described is what is expected.
Run it from within rxvt (much better terminal than cmd).
If you want it to use native windows paths, you have to compile the 
mingw version - I believe this can be done within cygwin, but I haven't 
ever had cause to do so.

Slave mode

Hellow!
Sorry for my English.
1. Is any example runing mplayer in slave mode?
I serch internet and find link to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/~faust3/gui/ on this list. But this link dont
work(The requested URL /~faust3/gui/ was not found on this server). Wher I can find any gui example?

2. I try this code, bat it don%u2019t work. I gets comment on console but mplayer ignore it.

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

    STARTUPINFO si;
    PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
    SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES sa;
    ZeroMemory( &sa, sizeof(sa) );
    sa.nLength=sizeof(sa);
    sa.bInheritHandle=true;
    ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
    si.cb = sizeof(si);
    ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
    // Start the child process.
    if( !CreateProcess("N:\\dp\\binary\\mplayer.exe",
                       "  -slave -quiet N:\\dp\\binary\\t.mpg",
                       &sa,NULL,true,0,NULL,NULL,&si,&pi )
      )
    {

The last time I tried MPlayer-slave mode in Cygwin, MPlayer only
understood commands, if they were followed by a whitespace. I don't
remember, if a newline was needed after the whitespace...

Hope this helps anyway :)

Only '\n' is needed after each command.

I've attached code for a class that launches and controls mplayer.
It won't compile standalone, and it's a bit old (the threading code isn't 
very robust in this version),
but I guess it shows enough to be helpful.

i only have cygwin installed on one pc, but i want to my mplayer binaries
on multiple pc's

You have two options then (possibly only one)

1) Use a mingw-compiled version on the non-cygwin boxen
2) Copy cygwin1.dll to the other boxes and specify the path to 
codecs.conf on the commandline - be aware that the path to all dll files 
will be incorrect.

There is of course the 3rd option of installing a minimal cygwin on the 
other boxes, done by merely running setup and not changing any of the 
default options.. Though I would always strongly recommend installing 
rxvt and using it over the default cmd.exe - it's far more responsive.

I finally got around to testing this, but unfortunately I'm apparently
too lame to get libpng compiled under MinGW.  Any hints?

Does this work (properly) under Cygwin as well?
