Re: compile VLC under cygwin is broken
Good Luck getting Cygwin to compile
1. The compile for gettext-0.16.1 does not work.
2. The Cygwin team said they will not add gettext-0.16.1 to the mirrors (Say it is too new. Can you believe that!)
3. I asked the vlc team to add the jvlc.dll to the nightly builds but have no response.
Basically I gave up on trying to compile jvlc any more since I had other functionality that was needed in my app and hoping cygwin or the vlc team would fix the problem or provide workaround at a later date.
