[mythtv-users] Re: anyone attempt mythfrontend on Cygwin?

[Schlomo Schapiro]

Hi,

it can't find the mythavcodec library ...

Maybe it has to have a "cyg" prefix as the cygmythavformat library it is 
trying to link ? (Just a wild guess !).

Try doing the make in the subdirs manually to track down what goes and 
what not.

In general I was wondering: How does the Video output stuff work on Win32 
? Is there a DirectX driver for MythTV ?

BTW, I am also most interested to see a Win32 mythfrontend to watch TV on 
my Windows notebook in the bedroom :-)

Regards,
Schlomo
