Here is a log of a conversation explaining the FLAGS


<asabil> __tim, ping ?
<__tim> hey
<asabil> yeah it is about the DirectSound and DirectDraw parch I submitted
<asabil> actually the configure.ac ac_link_ifelse fails because it doesn't find
the headers
<asabil> and also we introduced the DIRECTSOUND_
<asabil> DIRECT*_CFLAGS and DIRECT*_LDFLAGS to avoid poluting the global CFLAGS
<asabil> because those contains -Isource/to/directx/sdk/headers
<asabil> and that may conflict with the standard mingw headers sometimes
* chrisbudden14 (n=chrisbud at 195.194.27.101) has joined #gstreamer
<asabil> basically this is how we cross compile using mingw32 :
<asabil>
DIRECTDRAW_CFLAGS="-I/home/asabil/Devel/gstreamer/dependencies/DirectXSDK/Include"
DIRECTSOUND_CFLAGS="-I/home/asabil/Devel/gstreamer/dependencies/DirectXSDK/Include"
PREFIX="/home/asabil/Devel/gstreamer/build" ./mingw-configure
--enable-explicit-deps=no --disable-tests --with-check=no --disable-x
<__tim> asabil: well, put it all in the bug report please :)
<asabil> ok am gonna paste this conversation as a comment :D
<__tim> asabil: I still don't understand the LDFLAGS stuff though - are those
set/used anywhere?
<asabil> yes, in case we would like to use the Microsoft .lib files instead of
the mingw ones
<asabil> because mingw32 includes the library files for directX but doesn't
include all the headers
<asabil> :D
<asabil> to get this crap to compile we use the headers from microsoft and the
libraries from mingw ;)
