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

[Timothy Gu]

You should --disable-dbus because VLC doesn't support DBus on Windows (I
asked some weeks ago).

Qt 4 should be able to be installed in MXE with `make qt`. If that is done
but configure still can't find it, please post the config.log

Chromaprint, dvdread, and dca are only in master (development) branch. So
if you really want to use them `git checkout master`.
