That particular option --with-xvidlibdir is not currently working in Linux
in the latest SVN's. So I doubt it will work in mingw either. The html
instructions say to use --with-xvidlibdir, but I've not been able to get
that option to work.  I use with --with-extraincdir  and --with-extralibdir.
But you have to have the the xvidcore sources compiled and installed on your
system. I think the documentation needs updated for the process of
installing xvidcore.



No idea what that was actually good for...


Xvidix, from what I've read, is supposed to be a good option to use with
windows. Not necessary, but a good option. Anyway, I got it to work with the
binaries and once with a Cygwin compile awhile back.


 Better make sure you have the freetype sources installed.

It's saying it's not there.
