Hello photonica,

about your last finding: Can it be that you used the downloaded vlc.exe "in combination" with your compiled .dll / plugins.dat ? This would match my observation / guss that this error happend while destructing classes or unloading the dll's or similar...

Hello photonica, congratulation that you made it! About MINIZIP: I got many of similar "checking for MINIZIP... no" - messages. Like I understand this only checks and uses if it was found, but it can work without too. Also I ignored some warnings like "configure: WARNING: Library libr...

Also: happens only when frist bu...

Hello, I simply logged all my steps when I tried to compile and run the source code using MinGw/Msys, mainly because I wanted a backup in case I have to redo it. I'm quite sure that I have not found the best solution for all problems. Also I changed the order a bit to put all additional insallations...
