[vlc-devel] newbie having trouble configuring the build

[khoudri al]

Hello,

I am a newbie in VLC developpement. 
I am using cygwin on WindowsXP.
I am trying to configure the build by runing the
'bootstrap' with the big list of arguments but I get
errors when running 'autopoint' and it stops with
errors from 'autoconf', as you'll see in the listing
below.

Can anybody please help me?
Thank you in advance.
PS:I am pasting the whole output I get :

$ ./bootstrap && \

-I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
