[vlc-devel] Problems cross compiling to windows according to Win32Compile

[David R. Robison]

Have you used the ffmpeg mingw build script to compile VLC? What is the 
correct parameters to send to the mingw build script? I am using

./mingw-w64-build-3.6.0 --build-type=win64 --default-configure 
--enable-gendef --enable-nls --disable-shared

but when I get to build the win32 distribution it complains that it 
cannot find libgcc_s. Are the above the correct way to build the tool 
chain for static compiling of VLC?
