[vlc-devel] Updated build instructions for win32

[Gildas Bazin]

Hello everybody.

The instructions to build vlc for win32 have been updated. You can find them 
here: 
http://www.videolan.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/vlc/INSTALL.win32?rev=1.14

The build process has been greatly simplified, so now you'll have no excuse 
not to try it out ;)

For instance, under cygwin (www.cygwin.com), all you have to do is:

1 - download the vlc source code (from cvs is usually better)

2 - download the pre-compiled 3rd party libraries package which is available 
here: 
http://www.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/contrib-20030517-win32-bin.tar.bz2

3 - uncompress the package in your root directory (the libs will end-up in 
/usr/win32/)

4 - build vlc with the following command:
  ./bootstrap && \
  CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/win32/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
  CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
  ./configure \
      --disable-sdl --disable-gtk \
      --with-included-gettext --enable-nls \
      --enable-mad \
      --enable-ffmpeg \
      --enable-dvdread --enable-dvdplay \
      --enable-faad \
      --enable-flac \
      --enable-theora \
      --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
      --with-skins-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
      --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
      --enable-debug \
  && make

5 - you're done :)

Enjoy
