-Building VLC from the source code
-=================================
-
-If you want to build VLC from sources, you can do it in several ways:
-
-- On GNU/Linux, using the wince gcc cross-compiler.
-  (Right now we only provide an ARM version of the cross-compiler)
-
-- Natively on Windows, using Microsoft Embedded Visual C++.
-  Even though we provide some evc project files with vlc, this method is
-  advised only if you just want to experiment/play with some basic
-  functionality in vlc. The reason for this is that vlc depends on a lot of
-  3rd party libraries and building them in EVC is not convenient and
-  sometimes even impossible.
-
-Getting the right compiler tools
-================================
-
-You will need to download our wince gcc cross-compiler package:
-http://www.videolan.org/pub/testing/wince/wince-arm-gcc4.0.0-cvs-linux-crosscompiler-20050517.tar.bz2.
-Extract this package in your root directory (everything will be extracted in
-/usr/local/wince/cross-tools).
-
-The source code for this cross-compiler in also available at the same location.
-
-Getting the additional libraries
-=================================
-
-VLC depends on other libraries to provide some features like ac3 audio decoding
-or mpeg4 video decoding, etc...
-
-Depending on your needs you will have to compile/install some or all of these
-external libraries.
-
-They can be found here (source code):
-http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/contrib/
-
-We also provide a package with all the libraries already compiled so it is
-actually really easy to compile a full-featured version of vlc:
-http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/wince/contrib-20050220-wince-xscale-bin.tar.bz2 (Check out fo more recent versions at the same location). 
-
-All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files
-and libraries will be put in /usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale).
-You can do this with the following command: 
-
-  tar xjvf contrib-20050220-wince-xscale-bin.tar.bz2 -C /
-
-Please note the "-C /".
-
-A complete list of the libraries on which we depend can be found here:
-http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/
-
-Configuring the build
-=====================
-
-Once you've got all the files you need in place, you need to configure the
-build with the `./configure' script.
-
-I'll assume that you are using the pre-compiled 3rd party libraries I'm
-providing and that they are in /usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale.
-
-Use something along those lines:
-
-./bootstrap &&
-PATH=/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin:$PATH \
-CFLAGS="-D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -I/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/include" \
-CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I/usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale/include" \
-LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/lib" \
-LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale/lib" \
-CC="arm-wince-pe-gcc -mcpu=xscale" \
-   ../configure --host=arm-wince-pe --target=arm-wince-pe \
-    --build=i686-linux --prefix=/usr/local/wince \
-    --disable-sdl --disable-gtk --disable-dvdnav --disable-dvdread \
-    --disable-nls --disable-sout --disable-vlm --disable-a52 \
-    --disable-libmpeg2 --disable-freetype --disable-fribidi \
-    --disable-mad --disable-plugins --enable-optimize-memory \
-    --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/local/wince-xscale/bin \
-    --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/local/wince-xscale/bin \
-    --enable-tremor --enable-faad
-
-See `./configure --help' for more information.
-
-Actually Compiling the VLC source
-=================================
-
-Once configured, to build VLC, just run:
-  PATH=/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin:$PATH make
-
-Once the compilation is done, you can build self-contained VLC packages with
-the following 'make' rules:
-
-  make package-win32-base
-   will create a subdirectory named vlc-x.x.x with all the binaries
-   'stripped' (ie. without any debugging symbols).
-
-  make package-win32-zip
-   Same as above but will package the directory in a zip file.
-
-Well done, now you're ready to use VLC!
