Which libraries are you using?

Yes, this is basically what I did.

Umm... I didn't actually do this for the DVD plugin, since a quick grep
through the plugin code shows that it's *only* the Makefile that uses the
DVBDIR and NEWSTRUCT macros.

The DVD plugin compiles absolutely fine on my system - it just doesn't run
properly!  The disc starts spinning, and libdvdnav echos some stuff to the
screen, but then gives a few 'aspect ratio' messages, and VDR segfaults.
