[mythtv] Re: compiling mythtv frontend for cygwin

[Mario L]

When you did the original work with Myth/cygwin, did you run into any
troubles assigning the WId of the qt widget to the handle that directX
uses?  I can't seem to get past this issue - and it seems to be the
big problem right now with directX:

videoout_dx.cpp:162: error: invalid conversion from `WId' to `HWND__*'

If i try to explicity cast (wnd = (HWND)wind), I am getting what I
deduced to be parameter errors - which make me beleive that this
explicit cast isn't the correct way to do it?

code snipet:

    //dxresult = IDirectDraw2_SetCooperativeLevel(ddobject, wnd, DDSCL_NORMAL);
    dxresult = ddobject->SetCooperativeLevel(wnd, DDSCL_NORMAL);
    cout<<"dx result was:  "<<dxresult<<endl;
    cout<<"DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS is "<<DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS <<endl;

output:

2004-09-30 01:19:56 DirectXInitDDraw
dx result was:  -2147024809
DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS is -2147024809
