[vlc-devel] Re: Problem compiling

[zuo bf]

If you follow the file install_win32, the compilation will be very
easy with cygwin:)

I think a syntax error could be that your compilation tool is older
than the developer,
but only a guess as i have met some similar problem.

My compilation step is:
1. setup cygwin will full package
2. download a precompiled contrib tar ball and untar it using the command
    given in file install_win32
3. config and make using the command give in file install_win32

It works well, you could try this:)

Hope this will help you.
