Re: [libdv-dev] Attempting to port libdev to win32

[Charles 'B. K. <kr...@ac...>]

I took a swing at it over the weekend, and got a basic version of playdv
to work on Windows 2000:  no audio, and only a slow C version.

I used cygwin, and the win32 port of glib/gtk, and I also built and
installed libtool.

The main changes I had to make were:

  1) hardcode glib/gtk include and link paths into the build since
     the win32 port doesn't have g*.m4 or g*-config

  2) copy timersub macro from /usr/include/sys/time.h on linux, since
     it doesn't exist on cygwin
 
  3) change code in playdv.c to not use mmap for file reading, mmap
     doesn't work in cygwin.  (I just replaced mmap with malloc/read, and
     munmap with free)

  4) Remove oss.c from the build, and disable all dv_oss_* calls in
     playdv.

  5) configure with --disable-asm.   Some of the libdv asm seems to
     use ELF specific directives which break on windows.
