[vlc-devel] help for configure error : cannot find FAAD library

[francesco at bltitalia.com]

Hi
I'm attempting to cross compile latest version under Linux Debian
9 (stretch) 32-bit.
I followed all steps for cross compiling for windows.  The contrib
creation is all ok (make prebuilt is successful) but when I issue
the command :

../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32
--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

after issuing:

export
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$HOME/vlc_version/vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig

the result is as in the subject.  Config.log reports:

while result from command find / -name libfaad is:

/home/alfredo/.local/share/Trash/files/vlc_current_nw/contrib/native/faad2/libfaad
/home/alfredo/libraries/libfaad
/home/alfredo/libraries/libfaad/libfaad.

it seems that libfaad is not present.  But I can see it inside directory:

$HOME/vlc_version/vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib

and the faad.h inside the include directory:

$HOME/vlc_version/vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/include

Francesco
