Introduction
MSYS is a helper environment for MinGW, the compiler chain for Windows based on GCC. It is the fastest way to build VLC natively on Windows.

Install MinGW
Use the main installer 5.1.4 found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=240780
Use the candidate release, and select gcc, g++ and MinGW make. It should download automatically:
- mingwrt-3.15
- w32api-3.12
- binutils-2.18
- gcc-core-3.4.5
- gcc-g++-3.4.5
- mingw32-make-3.81
Install MSYS
- Install MSys 1.0.11-rc1 with the exe: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=2435&filename=MSYS-1.0.11-rc-1.exe
- Install MSys Developer Tooltkit: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
- Update to 1.0.11, untar it in your msys install: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz
AutoTools
Update your autoconf, automake and libtool by downloading and installing them.
- http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/autoconf2.5-2.61-1-bin.tar.bz2
- http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/automake1.10-1.10-1-bin.tar.bz2
- http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libtool1.5-1.5.25a-1-bin.tar.bz2
You can also compile them according to:
Install other tools
Installing mingw-utils is recommended: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz
Installation of wget too: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/wget-1.9.1-mingwPORT.tar.bz2
Although this is a mingwPORT package it already has a precompiled wget on board. Extract the .tar.bz2 file. It contains wget.exe in the bin subfolder, extract it to mingw/bin.
Install Git and checkout VLC
See Git_Windows.
PKG-CONFIG
pkg-config is a mess, this is not NEWS... And you cannot compile it from Windows because of a few bugs...
Get Glib from GNOME: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/glib/2.18/glib_2.18.2-1_win32.zip Unzip it.
Get PKG-CONFIG from GNOME: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config-0.23-2.zip Unzip it too.
Contribs
Take the precompiled contribs: http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs/contrib-20090219-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2
Copy them in your ~
tar xvjf contrib-20090219-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2 -C / rm /usr/win32/bin/moc /usr/win32/bin/uic /usr/win32/bin/rcc
Bootstrap VLC
cp /usr/win32/share/aclocal/* m4/ cp /usr/share/aclocal/* m4/ PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH ./bootstrap
It should warn about gettext... Just ignore.
Configure
sh extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh
Compile
PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH make
