[vlc-devel] VLC build under Windows

[Hak Arm]

Thanks for the help.

Now I follow CygWin  instructions (
http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew) but in the following step I
get an error when I run

./configure-vlc.sh


*configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables*

My GCC version is 4.5.3 and I use
contrib-20110224-win32-bin-gcc-4.4.4-runtime-3.17-only.tar.bz2.

Could you please help me out to workaround the issue ?
