[vlc-devel] Too hard to build vlc in cygwin! Questions.Helpplease.

[Mark Moriarty]

Why such an old contrib set?
Perhaps you might want 20070918, or at least 20070530, or maybe (just maybe)
something newer.
 
The error you're showing would be because a .la file, likely libdvdread.la,
has a bad path.
Open it (it's a text file), and you should see:
 
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L/usr/win32/lib /usr/win32/lib/libdvdread.la'

And:
# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/usr/win32/lib'

 
The odds are that you'll see:
dependency_libs='
-L/home/videolan/jb/0.8.6-bugfix/extras/contrib/lib/libdvdread.la'
 
Manually correct the file or use a newer contrib.

2008/3/5, mean while <mean.while.mw at gmail.com>: 

hello,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I reinstall mingw-runtime 3.13-1, use vlc-0.8.6d.tar.bz2 &
contrib-20070412-win32-0.8.6b-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2 to build, and
update the script set CONTRIB_TREE to /usr/win32-branch, and I still get the
error message below, is there any one know what's the problem? 
    Best reguards.

Hi,

I remember having this issue too. It seems some local path got pushed
unintenionally when making the contrib package.
You should change some files, but i didn't know if many so i did a link as
said here:
