Thanks Lenard,
I have it compiling and linking and everything. However, the windows
and the linux versions require very different library linking. So
right now I've got two separate lines in Setup.in, one that is for
windows, and one that is for Linux. Just comment or decomment them.
The problem, however, is, is there a way to have the ./configure
selectively use one line or the other?
I also ran into a problem executing my module, once compiled and
linked together correctly:
0 [main] us 0 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to
us.stackdump
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "movie_test.py", line 7, in <module>
import pygame._movie as movie
ImportError: DLL load failed: Invalid access to memory location.
I'm going to do a bunch of documentation updates, and then turn back
to the windows functionality. I don't think I'll get it(windows port)
in time for the pencils down deadline on monday. At the very least, it
will be an alpha release.
Sorry guys, I overestimated the difficulty of the project. I will do
what I can over the next school semester to get it to a much more
capable and stable state.

Hi Tyler,
For external dependencies the Dependency class in config_msys.py
has an optional libs argument. I believe it is what you want. Just
set it to a list of library root names.
Here is the ffmpeg library I built:
http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/experimental/ffmpeg.tar.gz
md5sum:
db4d51a61dbd56a1453e332774dfa494
It was cross compiled with from linux with mingw. I added ffmpeg
to msys_build_deps.py on your branch. It sets the
--enable-memalign-hack flag for configure, so maybe that is what
is needed for the stack error. If you use the prebuilt library
then unzip the file into the prebuilt directory. You will need to
add ffmpeg to prebuilt\Config_Win.in. If you so me the part of the
Setup file that is between "#--StartConfig" and "#--EndConfig" I
will give you an undated version and also add it to
prebuilt-template in your branch.

Unfortunately, I get an error when I execute my module, that
says basically
"Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been
miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers."
It suggest recompiling with gcc4.2 or greater, so I've been
trying to get a mingw version of gcc, 4.2 or greater, but it
fails everytime. I do recall someone managing to compile the
ffmpeg libraries before on windows? If I could get those, I
have a feeling, things will work properly.
But I don't think we will have windows functionality for the
module just yet, unfortunately. *sighs*

I finally got it working. It was dependent on the order of the
libraries, as well as two extra libraries, winsock and
zlib. How
would I go about adding these flags only for windows
compilation?

Hi Tyler,
Ignore config_win.py. It is for using the
prebuilts and
stuff
compiled with Visual C++. Visual C++ prebuilt
compilation has not
been maintained for awhile and is moot anyway since
ffmpeg is not
designed to compile with it. So add ffmpeg to
config_mys.py
instead. This will use msys/1.0/local/ stuff.
You have
to add a
separate Dependency inststance for each shared
library
of ffmpeg.
I have already added the ffmpeg libraries to
dll.py, so
look there
for the names to use: AVCODEC, AVFORMAT and so on. I
see I did not
update the prebuilt-template\Config_Win.in for
ffmpeg.
It is used
with the prebuilts.

Thanks Lenard, I'll try that tomorrow. Do you guys
mind if
I add a big documentation note to config_win.py that it
hasn't been updated or maintained in awhile? Just so no
one else goes down the same fruitless red brick
road as I
did, lol.
:)

Please do. Obviously the note at the top about file
searches
being broken was too subtle a warning. If you do place the
warning at the top just be sure to mention that
setup_prebuilt() is still relevant and used.
