The error causes make to terminate, so I'm worried if there is anything
critical that is built after npvlc.dll that is being skipped. Also if the
issue has been around for a long time, should somebody attempt to fix it or
at least add an option to bypass it (if there isn't one already)?

Yes, I built it on Windows 7 and it also runs on my Windows Vista computer.

Thanks for the help, as long as VLC and the modules are being built I can
begin working on my qualifying task for SoC.
