Jb,

I am new to VLC and trying to build it by following the procedure "How to compile on Windows using Cygwin" and stuck at runing "configure-vlc.sh" with the following message. Would you help ?

Sincerely, Junfang

$ ./configure-vlc.sh configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-caca-config-path configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host. configure: error: in `/home/HNJ786/vlc': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.

Mingw

Seriously, you really should use MingW to compile VLC. jb 08:01, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Jb,

By following "Win32CompileMSYSNew" it stuck at

 $ sh extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh

with the following errors.

 checking for broken mingw-runtime... present
 configure: error: LibVLC requires mingw-runtime version 3.15 or higher!

Screen shot attached for your kind review.

Sincerely, Junfang
