Re: [mad-user] Build problem with cygwin/mingw

This doesn't work.. error looks like this:

/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libmad.lai 
c:\source\vc\mixer\libmad/lib/libmad.la
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file 
`c:sourcevcmixerlibmad/lib/libmad.la': No such file or directory

Those windows paths just aren't making it through everything without 
getting mangled.

How exactly would I install manually? Just copy libmad.a?
