[vlc] Problem with cross-compile VLC for ARM-WinCE

[George Yang]

Dear sir,
 I'm trying to build VLC from source (vlc-0.8.2.tar.bz2) for ARM-WinCE, by
following the instructions posted at
http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/file/trunk/INSTALL.wince
.
 I tried to cross-compile VLC on both Debian Linux PC (woody upgraded with
kernel 2.6.8.1 <http://2.6.8.1/>) and cygwin, but had no luck.
 - On Debian Linux:

What is the preferred way to build VLC for ARM-WinCE, cygwin or Linux? How
to do it correctly?
 I appreciate any help.
