This is a situation where a compromise is definitely worse than either of the base options. Either we support out-of-the-box Cygwin, or we do not. If we do not, it doesn't really matter what the users need to build themselves, the most recent or something only slightly newer than what comes with the system. -- Måns Rullgård [email protected] _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
