Version 3.0.4 (http://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.4/vlc-3.0.4.tar.xz) still doesn't compile.

Yep, it happens when compiling from tarball (http://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.3/vlc-3.0.3.tar.xz) Files in tarball differ from the ones on git (git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-3.0.git), some files are stripped e.g. build.sh. When I was compiling from tarball I was able to fix problem with gcrypt (as I...

On Ubuntu 17 I installed docker client using:
sudo apt-get install docker.io

sudo docker pull registry.videolan.org:5000/vlc-debian-win64

I noticed the error in the cheatsheet. Nevertheless now everything compiles and runs on Win10, so it's time for me to write new audio ...

I'm not sure what was the cause of the above problems, but yesterday I used docker vlc-debian-win64 and peeked how VLC Jenkins compiles nighly build for 3.0.x and pasted the same build.sh command and it compiled w/o problems.

Sure, but my question is more not how to overcome compilation/linkage errors, but what is the right way to compile vlc 3.0.3 in a stable manner. There are nightly builds of vlc 3.0.4 for win64, so vlc jenkins has probably some fixed configuration which I would like to replicate in my environment. 1....

I was able to cross compile for win64 latest VLC (4.0) from git using docker with no problems. My question is what's the proper way to compile current released version (3.0.3)? I used latest docker iamge (vlc-debian-win64) and instead of cloning git repo I downloaded http://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0....
