<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Have you used the ffmpeg mingw build
script to compile VLC? What is the correct parameters to send to
the mingw build script? I am using <br>
<br>
<tt>./mingw-w64-build-3.6.0 --build-type=win64 --default-configure
--enable-gendef --enable-nls --disable-shared</tt><tt><br>
</tt><br>
but when I get to build the win32 distribution it complains that
it cannot find libgcc_s. Are the above the correct way to build
the tool chain for static compiling of VLC?<br>

<p dir="ltr">You need to check config.log to make sure what's
missing. To summarize the current MinGW situation, MinGW32
(i686-pc-mingw32) supports only 32-bit, but mingw-w64
(*-w64-mingw32) supports _both_ 32- and 64-bit archs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would never use the MinGW toolchain from Ubuntu or
any other distro, simply because it installs into standard
system directory and installing MinGW libs to system locations
is a pain.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would either use MXE (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://mxe.cc">http://mxe.cc</a>) which contains build
recipes for a lot of libraries that can be used by VLC, or
Zeranoe's mingw-w64 build script (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/blog/?cat=4">http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/blog/?cat=4</a>)
which produces a pristine build environment.</p>
