[gst-devel] MingW conflict, was : DirectX sinks for Windows status

[Christian HJ Wiesner]

Hi Michal,

OK, the problems seems to be related with registration of the DLLs in 
'lib'. I can only run Ixion from 'ixion.bat' , and not from 'ixion.exe' 
irrespective of how often i try to run the 'gst-register.bat' before, it 
will always come back to me with a message that mingwm10.dll can not be 
found.

Because of this, also the command

ixion --gst-debug-level=2

will return the same message ( see above, mingwm10.dll not found ) , 
leading nowhere.

Is it possible that this is the result of having two differnt mingw DLLs 
on my PC, for mmg.exe ( mkvmerge GUI ) and Ixion ?

Thanks for a short answer

Christian
