[vlc] Trouble building vlc under cygwin

[Giovanni Bajo]

Hello,

I'm trying to build VLC 0.8.4 under cygwin (without POSIX layer). I'm
following the instructions in INSTALL.win32. I have installed the contrib
binary archive as explained in the docs
(contrib-20051104-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2).

$ ./bootstrap && \
>   CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
>   LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
>   CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
>   ./configure \
>       --disable-gtk \
>       --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
>       --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \
>       --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
>       --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
>       --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
>       --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
>       --enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \
>       --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
>       --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
>       --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
>       --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
>       --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
>       --enable-debug

The first errors in the log are those produced by autopoint, which I can
reproduce with:

$ autopoint -f

tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors



Some information about my system:

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
automake (GNU automake) 1.8.5
/usr/bin/autopoint (GNU gettext-tools) 0.14.5
gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
