Download and install. For the MSYS environment you should install the packages msys, mingw-runtime, w32api, binutils and gcc from the MinGW site. Armstrong flute models. Cygwin can be installed by downloading and running the installation program setup.exe. Opt mingw32 -host=i586-mingw32msvc -target=i586-mingw32msvc -build=i386-linux.

Hi
I downloaded the latest VLC source
then did yum-builddep vlc to install all the sources of the 3rd party libs required to build vlc
it installed around 90 dependancies like x264, ffmpeg etc etc (but not libavcodec)
I was able to build VLC for linux
i installed Mingw and tested it
i tried building VLC for windows using the following configure-vlc.sh
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/home/ramprasad/x264
CXXCPP=i586-mingw32msvc-cpp
CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++
./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux
--disable-gtk
--disable-avcodec --disable-avformat --disable-swscale
--disable-faad --disable-flac --disable-theora
--disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --disable-goom
--disable-twolame --disable-dvdread
--enable-debug --disable-dca
--disable-mkv --disable-taglib
--disable-mad --disable-live555
--disable-postproc
--enable-x264 --with-x264-tree=/home/ramprasad/x264
--disable-a52
when i do make
I am getting this error
