			This value is '''essential''': it instructs the build system to use the correct toolchain and compile the program for Windows.

Prepare 3rd party libraries

	== Prepare [[Contrib Status\|3rd party libraries]] ==		== Prepare [[Contrib Status\|3rd party libraries]] ==

	Before compiling VLC, you need ~~lots~~ of ~~other libraries~~. ~~Here is how~~ to ~~get them~~:		VLC depends on a sizable number of third party libraries. Before compiling VLC, you need to obtain compiled versions of those. There are two ways to achieve that:
			* The ''prebuilt'' approach is much faster and easier, but only works with a narrow set of VLC versions.
			* The ''manual build'' approach takes a lot of time and disk space, and somewhat error-prone.

			Please note that the prebuilt library versions are intended for the latest current ''stable release'' of VLC. It is not compatible with old VLC versions, nor with newer or future versions.

			At the time of writing (late 2016), the prebuilt libraries work with VLC 2.2.x '''only'''. To compile the VLC 3.0.x development branch, '''DO NOT USE''' the prebuilt libraries.
