<br><br>Started off trying to compile it on my Linux laptop. But it has an old version of Fedora... and VLC needs newer tools versions than what that computer has... so I decided to try it on my laptop with MS Windows on it. (Need something to test site in IE on. But anways....)
<br><br>I downloaded Cygwin, and installed a whole bunch of stuff (that ./configure complained about) but I eventually came to a problem.<br><br>Here's the last 5 lines from ./configure...<br><br>checking whether NLS is requested... yes

<br>The thing is, libiconv seems to be there. (It's in the /lib folder.)<br><br>Is this a problem someone else has seen before? Anyone have any suggestions?<br><br><br>See ya<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
