To install VLC, we need the third party libraries,ie,
1) The third party libraries present in the Libraries folder are:
a)vlc-binary.tar.gz
b)vlc-devel.tar_2.tar
c)vlc-source.tar.tar
d)redhat9-updates.tar.tar
2) The VLC Source Code.
3) The "mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar" which is the mingw Cross
compiler.
4) Precompiled Libraries for Win32 are present in the "
contrib-20040520-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.tar" file.
5) The these tools namely
a) wxWindows Toolkit --> wxWindows-20031222.tar.tar
b) gettext utility --> gettext-0.12.1.tar.tar

rpm -ivh --nodeps --force <filename>
or
rpm -ivh --nodeps --force *.rpm
STEP 2: Untarring and Installing wxWindows Toolkit
a) Untar the wxWindows Toolkit using the command

steps
1) ./configure && make && make install
2) Edit the file: /etc/ld.so.conf
3) Add the path /<Directory where wxWindows was
untarred>/wxWindows-20031222/lib to this file
STEP 3: Untarring and Installing gettext utility
a) Untar the gettext utility using the command
tar -xzvf gettext-0.12.1.tar.tar
b) Go to the "gettext-0.12.1" folder created and perform the following
./configure && make && make install
STEP 4: Untarring and Installing mingw32 Cross Compiler
a) Copy the "mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.tar" file to the /
directory which can
be navigated to by using "cd /"
b) Untar the mingw Compiler using the command
tar -xzvf mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.tar
c) Automatically the files will be installed in /usr/local/mingw Folder.
d) Edit the file: /etc/ld.so.conf
e) Add the path "/usr/local/mingw/lib" to the file.
f) Edit the File /etc/profile and navigate to the line where
"export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC" is written.
g) Add the line "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mingw/bin" before this line.
STEP 5: Untarring and Installing the Precompiled libraries for Win32
a) Copy the "contrib-20040520-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.tar" file to the /
directory which can be navigated to by using "cd /"
b) Untar using the command
tar -xzvf contrib-20040520-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.tar
c) Automatically the files will be installed in /usr/win32 Folder.
d) Edit the file: /etc/ld.so.conf

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/win32/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib
CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ ./configure
--host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux --disable-sdl --disable-gtk
