[vlc] Beginner - Need a guide to compile VLC Source Code

[Wei JIANG]

Hello,

Did you meet the " Failed to create HTTPd file" error that I mentioned 
the other day?
QUOTE
I just wonder if this issue has been solved or someone is looking into 
it.  I get this error message in the debug window when I clicked Add 
Interface>Web. BTW, I use Windows Vista 32 bit + VLC media place 2.03 
Twoflower and I am trying streaming a clip.

[00a57030] [http] lua interface: Lua HTTP interface
[00a57030] [http] lua interface error: Error loading script C:\Program 
Files\Vid
eoLAN\VLC\lua\intf\http.luac: 
...xtras/package/win32/../../../share/lua/intf/htt
p.lua:210: Failed to create HTTPd file.
