[MPlayer-cygwin] Re: mplayer

[Rohan Shah]

i downloaded the source code and it seems to be make-ing. How do I make 
mplayer "aware" of my cdrom and cd writer? Also, if I re-install mplayer 
will it just overwrite my previous files or should I first uninstall 
before re-installing?

thanks in advance,

Rohan
