I'm new in unixish build system but I find out that "Sanity check failed"
means my Ubuntu needs a restart!
Also take a look at http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile

Subject: [vlc-devel] Cross-compiling on Ubuntu for Windows
Hi All,
I am new to this mailing-list and also to VLC development. My
problem is very basic but I am stuck here very badly.
I have been trying to cross compile VLC-0.8.6c on Ubuntu using
mingw32 since last three days. I have followed all the steps given in
Cross-Compile guide on VideoLan wiki site.
I tried using precompiled libraries and then compile the VLC
with i586-mingw32msvc, but no success. Also, I tried /extras/contrib.
directory to use as a library folder. I tried cross-compiling these
libraries but there was 'Rejects in Saving .rej files". I handled those
manually, but then build failed in finding some file.
As a last attempt I used precompiled libraries and VLC-0.8.6b, but VLC build
is failing at 'Configure' stage only. It gives the error as "Sanity check
failed". I followed all the steps to resolve this issue, but it is giving
same problem for both VLC-0.8.6c and VLC-0.8.6b.
Anyways, either I am doing something wrong or there is a problem
with settings on my system(Compiler and other stuff).
I would really appreciate if somebody email me the document for
cross-compiling VLC on Ubuntu (Linux) for Windows using i586mingw32msvc.
Also, if it is not possible to cross-compile the way I am
trying, I have to shift VLC development on Windows where I have to use
Cygwin for compilation. Before that I want to know which is the most widely
used development environment for VLC development? And How the Windows and
Linux environment is set?
Thanks and Best Regards,
