[vlc-devel] Re: importing wxWindows xrc functionality for win32

[David Murray]

I've been compiling the same way; compilation isn't the problem. It's 
integrating the XRC libraries that is the problem. Those libraries are 
included in the VLC win32 contrib file. The real help I need is in building 
the XRC library (which I *think* I've done successfully) and more 
importantly, linking the XRC library. It's the linking that's the 
issue...Can you help me out with that one?

Thanks,
David
