Thanks. I installed contrib-20080811-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2. The configure has been done, but during the make process, I've got following errors. Not sure it ls the library problem or my machine problem or vlc build problem?Try newer contribs.

I took the git source code, but again got following new errors:this was fixed yesterday by j-b. update your vlc sources.
What is the git update command similar to svn update?you're really unlucky. this problem (-Werror) was introduced 37 hours ago, and subsequently removed 15 hourse ago.
-> update again
Thanks. I updated to 17/8/08 git source code and built the vlc with contrib-20080528-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2.http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html Git - SVN Crash Course
git pull is equal to svn update
Is it contrib-20080528-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2 I've used a newer contrib? I could not find any other contrib newer than that one in http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/.1) take a newer contrib
2) read the docs...
Thanks for the configuration script, I compiled the vlc using above configuration. The vlc was installed in /usr/local directory, but "vlc --list" was sitll showing nothing, even "vlc --help" was showing empty as well. I was compiling the vlc on Cygwin on Vista, would the Vista be a problem? Another thing was, it took more then 3 house everytime to run ./configure, make and make install on an Intel Core Due processors, really long time. Is there anything I can do to trace down the problems?Here is a VLC config that I'm using with yesterday NB and the august 08 contribs. It works fine.
PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \

I tried to run VLC from Windows Explorer, it displayed the VLC icon, but nothing coming. I also tried to run the VLC from the Window's command line:Compile works with Vista, and yes, compile takes a long time with Cygwin. Remember to use -j2 or similar switch with make to make building faster. I usually run VLC directly from c:\VLC\vlc\vlc-0.9.0 using Windows Explorer. Cygwin shell is sometimes very picky about file usage rights so I you haven't tried normal Windows command prompt, try it.
you mean vlc.exe? With nightlies its size should be at near 92,0 KBMy vlc.txt size is about 510127
Thanks for your link. I found the problem. In nighties build, there is a plugins directory which contains all dll files. In my VLC build, there is no such plugins directory. if I copy the plugins directory from the nighties build to my installation bin directory where the vlc.exe is in, my vlc.exe is able to play. I've searched my VLC build, but could not find a plugins directory which contains all dll files. What could be wrong in my build where the whole dll plugins directory is missing?you mean vlc.exe? With nightlies its size should be at near 92,0 KBMy vlc.txt size is about 510127
Cygwin compiled executables require cygwin dll and nobody wants that on native Win environment. You can get latest builds from nightlies.
