@subsection Compilation under Cygwin
-The main issue with Cygwin is that newlib, its C library, does not
-contain llrint(). However, it is possible to leverage the
-implementation in MinGW.
+The main issue with the 1.5.x Cygwin versions is that newlib, its C library,
+does not contain llrint(). You need to upgrade to the unstable 1.7.x versions,
+or leverage the implementation in MinGW (as explained below).
Just install your Cygwin with all the "Base" packages, plus the
following "Devel" ones:
@example
-binutils, gcc-core, make, subversion, mingw-runtime
+binutils, gcc-core, make, subversion, mingw-runtime, diffutils
@end example
-Do not install binutils-20060709-1 (they are buggy on shared builds);
-use binutils-20050610-1 instead.
+The experimental gcc4 package is still buggy, hence please
+use the official gcc 3.4.4 or a 4.2.x compiled from source by yourself.
+
+Install the current binutils-20080624-2 as they work fine (the old
+binutils-20060709-1 proved buggy on shared builds).
Then create a small library that just contains llrint():
to build shared libraries.
If you want to build FFmpeg with additional libraries, download Cygwin
-"Devel" packages for Ogg and Vorbis from any Cygwin packages repository
-and/or SDL, xvid, faac, faad2 packages from Cygwin Ports,
-(@url{http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/}).
+"Devel" packages for Ogg and Vorbis from any Cygwin packages repository:
+@example
+libogg-devel, libvorbis-devel
+@end example
+
+These library packages are only available from Cygwin Ports
+(@url{http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/}) :
+
+@example
+yasm, libSDL-devel, libdirac-devel, libfaac-devel, libfaad-devel, libgsm-devel,
+libmp3lame-devel, libschroedinger1.0-devel, speex-devel, libtheora-devel,
+libxvidcore-devel

+The recommendation for libnut and x264 is to build them from source by
+yourself, as they evolve too quickly for Cygwin Ports to be up to date.
+
+Cygwin 1.7.x has IPv6 support. You can add IPv6 to Cygwin 1.5.x by means
