Compiling MPlayer using MinGW on Debian?

Hello,

It's me again.

I plan to offer automatic builds of MPlayer for Windows.
I have a Debian server at home and I want to compile MPlayer on it.

Which packages do I need from the debian repository and how do I need 
to compile MPlayer using MinGW under Debian?

I am running Debian Testing.

Your help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Simon

Don't have much time to reply properly, but have a look in DOCS/tech,
I think I documented this once in the hope to get at least one other
developer to test if their changes at least compile on Windows.
mingw-crosscompile.txt it should be.
Please help improve that if something is unclear or outdated, I suspect
nobody ever read it!

There is a .tar.bz2 file which contains various dependencies.
Do i need to recompile them or does debian already comes with those?
Do they need some special compilation or is it just the standard way 
to compile things?

$ ./configure
$ make

Not particularly, it's just a bit inconvenient.

Yeah. But if I would be able to put it into the automatic process it 
would be not that much inconvenient.

Debian seems not to offer such packages.

I also thought if it is possible or difficult if the package could be 
rebuilt on the mplayer server so everyone who wants to compile it on 
mingw just could grab the package like described in the howto?

Not currently, but if someone volunteered to maintain them they might
accept libfreetype-mingw etc. packages, particularly if they are created
from the same source just with a few different configure options from
the debian ones.

I don't think there's a chance of any automated compilation running on the main

Or maybe or another server?

Or can you show me how to compile my own libs so i can do automated 
builds of MPlayer? With this i want to support current MPlayer builds 
on Windows.

Or maybe its easier to compile using cygwin randomly.

Simon
