[vlc-devel] Error cross compiling for Win32

[David R. Robison]

OK, I modified the rules.mak in the src/x264 directory to request xz 
instead of gz:

x264: x264-git.tar.xz .sum-x264

This got me by the fetch error. Now I am getting a compile error 
compiling protobuf:

Any ideas what is wrong? David
