<div>Dear sir,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm trying to build VLC from source (vlc-0.8.2.tar.bz2) for ARM-WinCE, by following the instructions posted at <a href="http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/file/trunk/INSTALL.wince">http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/file/trunk/INSTALL.wince
</a>.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried to cross-compile VLC on both Debian Linux PC (woody upgraded with kernel <a href="http://2.6.8.1/">2.6.8.1</a>) and cygwin, but had no luck.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- On Debian Linux:</div>
