[vlc] Compiling vlc under cygwin on Windoz

[Gilbert Tsang]

Hello vlc warriors:
 
Spent the weekend trying to compile vlc 0.5.1 using cygwin under Win XP.
Finally compiled successfully but when I invoke the executable, a
display window pops up, but the mpeg stream only has mono-color and the
image doubles (as seen on the attached image):
 

 
 
I obtained MINGW's and w32api runtime through cygwin's setup.exe.
 
I've read install.win32 many times, and this is the farthest I can go
before hitting the wall. So any sort of help is very much appreciated!
 
The command line I used is:
 
./configure --enable-directx --disable-mad --disable-dvd
--disable-waveout ; make
 
[ since I'm only studying video compression, so I explicitly ignore
audio decoding ]
 
 
Questions I have:
 
1)       do I need to go to www.libsdl.org <http://www.libsdl.org/>  to
download and install SDL explicitly ( I don't think cygwin includes it).
If so, only runtime library is enough?
(http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.5a-win32.zip)
 
2)       I figure I don't need GTK as I'm ignoring audio - am I off beat
too much? 
 
3)       for directx, need to explicitly download and install? If so,
some URL's are appreciated.
 
4)       Finally, any insights for the configure options for video-only
VLC ? :D
 
Really appreciate any kind souls out there who can help out!!
 
Warmest regards,
 
Gilbert.
