i tried snapshots that are already bootstrapped but when i do "./configure
...."
i take an error because it cannot find the library libdvdcss that is located
in the /cygwin/usr/win32/.. (pre-compiled libraries)

These directories are defined to be used (-I and -L) in the bootstrap
procedure

./bootstrap && \
  CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
  LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
  CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \

but it doesnt work

so now i cannot either use the snapshots that already bootstrapped.
I searched in the web and other users of vlc had the same problem.
with autoconf

what am i have to do now..?

please, i am desperate
i am trying a week now to compile the vlc product..
