[vlc-devel] Re: Building VLC from CVS

[Stephane]

I was wondering if a solution was found yet for this problem? I have
just dl'ed the latest CVS tree and am trying to cross-compile via MinGW and
MSYS.
After installing the various tools (autoconf, automake, gettext (which fails
on utime.h :( ) I run bootstrap and ./configure. All seems ok, but it ends
on the same 'config.status: creating Makefile'.
Is it possible/necessary to use Cygwin for the configure step? And what do I
need for this?

I have exactly the same problem, I still haven't found out why exactly (in
fact, I'm kind of waiting for the next MsysDTK release which I hope will
solve the problem).

Unfortunately for you, building the development version of vlc has only been
fully tested using the mingw32 cross-compiler under linux. Which means that
if you want to compile vlc without too much trouble, you'll have to use
this setup.
I hope this will be fixed soon though.

Otherwise, you may also want try to compile vlc under cygwin. Just make sure
you follow the instructions in the INSTALL.win32 file.

Hope this help,
