</div>To compile VLC, you need a C99, C++ and Lua5 byte code compiler. Microsoft<br>
VisualStudio provides neither the first nor the last, and Microsoft has<br>
explicitly stated that it had no intention to support C99 so far. Thus it<br>
is obviously not possible to compile VLC with VS.<br>
<br>
Some people have succeeded in compiling VLC with MingW on MSYS, or with<br>
the Cygwin environment. However, due to the complexity of setting up MSYS<br>
and the instability of Cygwin, neither can be recommended. Therefore,<br>
cross-compilation from Linux will remain the preferred and supported method<br>
until further notice.<br>
