... so let me know if there is another list this post should be on. I'm trying to build svn version (dated yesterday) on the latest version of cygwin. All is well until the final linking stage, the actual error is stream/cache2.o:cache2.c:(.text+0x5c1): undefined reference to `__beginthread' stream/cache2.o:cache2.c:(.text+0x122a): undefined reference to `__endthread' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [mplayer.exe] Error 1 my configure opts $ ./configure --enable-static --disable-x11 --disable-pthreads --disable-tv I thought I had it with '--disable-pthreads' .... but no dice. The win32 thread is being disabled by 'configure' itself. thanks in advance, Steven
