binutils, gcc4-core, make, subversion, mingw-runtime, texi2html
@end example

And the following "Utils" one:
@example
diffutils
@end example

Then run

@example
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
@end example

to make a static build.

The current @code{gcc4-core} package is buggy and needs this flag to build
shared libraries:

@example
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --extra-cflags=-fno-reorder-functions
@end example

If you want to build FFmpeg with additional libraries, download Cygwin
"Devel" packages for Ogg and Vorbis from any Cygwin packages repository:
@example
libogg-devel, libvorbis-devel
@end example

These library packages are only available from Cygwin Ports
(@url{http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/}) :

@example
yasm, libSDL-devel, libdirac-devel, libfaac-devel, libgsm-devel,
libmp3lame-devel, libschroedinger1.0-devel, speex-devel, libtheora-devel,
libxvidcore-devel
@end example

The recommendation for libnut and x264 is to build them from source by
yourself, as they evolve too quickly for Cygwin Ports to be up to date.

Cygwin 1.7.x has IPv6 support. You can add IPv6 to Cygwin 1.5.x by means
of the @code{libgetaddrinfo-devel} package, available at Cygwin Ports.

@subsection Crosscompilation for Windows under Cygwin

With Cygwin you can create Windows binaries that do not need the cygwin1.dll.

Just install your Cygwin as explained before, plus these additional
"Devel" packages:
@example
gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, mingw-zlib
@end example

and add some special flags to your configure invocation.

For a static build run
@example
./configure --target-os=mingw32 --enable-memalign-hack --enable-static --disable-shared --extra-cflags=-mno-cygwin --extra-libs=-mno-cygwin
@end example

and for a build with shared libraries
@example
./configure --target-os=mingw32 --enable-memalign-hack --enable-shared --disable-static --extra-cflags=-mno-cygwin --extra-libs=-mno-cygwin
@end example
