[vlc-devel] Found my extras/contrib x264 bug on Cygwin

[Mark Moriarty]

I was getting an error related to an undefined pthreads item:
gcc -mno-cygwin -isystem /usr/include/mingw -o x264.exe x264.o matroska.o
muxers
.o libx264.a -L/home/mfm/vlc-trunk/extras/contrib/lib -mno-cygwin
-mno-cygwin -l
pthread -lvfw32 -s
libx264.a(cpu.o):cpu.c:(.text+0x192): undefined reference to
`__imp__pthread_num
_processors_np'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [x264.exe] Error 1

It turns out that pthreads is being built as libpthreadGC2.a, instead of
libpthread.a

Now I'm making it to:
gcc -mno-cygwin -isystem /usr/include/mingw -o x264.exe x264.o matroska.o
muxers
.o libx264.a -L/home/mfm/vlc-trunk/extras/contrib/lib -mno-cygwin
-mno-cygwin -l
vfw32 -s

A lot of little oddities :)  For some reason I expect that !<arch> is going
to be similar to the problem I saw previously, things just not being defined
in ways that work under Cygwin. (those AR, RANLIB, STRIP substitutions)
