[vlc] Cross-compile for Windows fails on the first step

[Igor Korot]

Hi, ALL,
This is my first post here, so please forgive me if it does not belong in
this particular list.

I'm trying to compile VLC on Windows (7 64-bit Ultimate) following
instructions here:
http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYS

However, I'm getting following error:

[code]
alex at jupiter ~/vlc/extras/tools
$ make
(cd autoconf; ./configure --prefix=/home/alex/vlc/extras/tools/build &&
make && make install)

acceptable m4 could be found in $PATH.
GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is required; 1.4.16 or newer is recommended.
GNU M4 1.4.15 uses a buggy replacement strstr on some systems.
Glibc 2.9 - 2.12 and GNU M4 1.4.11 - 1.4.15 have another strstr bug.
make: *** [.autoconf] Error 1
[/code]

How can I fix it?

Thank you.
