Does MinGW tutorial still applies for compiling the current release (r2)?

Hi all,

Following along the list archieves, I had exactly the same
question 
asked in 
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/
mplayer-cygwin/2007-December/003087.html 
. Following along the discussion, found the tutorial  
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/contrib/win
32/MPlayer-MinGW-Howto.txt .

My question:

Is this tutorial still applies for compiling the latest
release version 
(0.r2)? Is there any changes I need to consider from this
howto??

Thanks

the official releases are compiled using mingw.

that tutorial is a bit outdated.
get the latest 'current' mingw and msys versions.
i dont think libtheora is needed
mplayer isnt on cvs anymore, but svn now.

you can find some of the external libs precompiled at:
http://oss.ne
tfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php
also up-to-date mingw mplayer builds 

-compn

Thanks for the pointers. 

By the way I am trying to download the "libregif"
but their mirror is 
down. I tried to notify the broken link but email is also
not working. 
Where else I can download these libraries??

I suggest you to download directly the binary from my site
since the build system is not "canonical"
pehraps you are the second asking for this package
I've added the original tar.gz on my site for convenience
