I've done it. but it report I've now libiconv, but in fact i've installed libiconv in my env, why? I 've succeed before in building vlc in cygwin, but this time, I installed latest cygwin, and build the latest (snapshot)VLC. whether this is the reason?

Thanks firstly!

I have install it in my cygwin env!
Why the building system can't see it?

I was amazed by VLC 4 years ago, and kept being amazed until now:O)

I want to build VLC in cygwin, but the cygwin-install-package only provide gcc-3.3.3 and gcc-3.4.4, no 3.3.1, and after I build the VLC, it report linker error, it's caused by the gcc version, I've experience before. But I don't know how to get gcc-cygwin-3.3.1? I don't want to build gcc myself, it ...

I don't think it's important to choose QT or wx, because VLC's core is not UI, it's those open source codecs. It supports any OS, any format multimedia. The current implemetation of UI can work well, it's enough for me :O)

I've tested 20051104 build version today, it's so great!
It support TV input, support H264 encoding, support Chinese, these function are just what I want.
Wish it can be released earlier!

Add oil!

When it can support reaplay format completely?
Who can reply me? I found the VLC is also an excellent media transferring tool, I can use it to transfer any media format to any other media format(except the RMVB and RL), but it support the realplay audio, not video!

I found the VLC0.8.1 still can't play realplay format(rl, rmvb) meida correctly, sometimes the audio is OK!
So when it can support realplay format?

You can check your GCC version and chich version GCC your cygwin contribute library was build. If they are not same, it'll come out this error! When I used the http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/contrib-20041113-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2 contribute lib, and my gcc in the cygwin is ...

My problem is only because my GCC version is 3.2.0, but the library is made by GCC3.3.1, so I upgrade my GCC, then all are OK! My configuration is : ./bootstrap && \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \ CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"...

My problem is only because my GCC version is 3.2.0, but the library is made by GCC3.3.1, so I upgrade my GCC, then all are OK!

So I disabled the livedotcom package, but I still encounted the problem when the building process encountered the linking stage, the error is below: g++ -mno-cygwin -Wsign-compare -Wsign-compare -Wall -mms-bitfields -pipe -L/usr/win32/lib -o vlc.exe src/vlc-vlc.o lib/libvlc.a share/vlc_win32_rc.o ./...

If you don't want the ffmpeg support, you can try --disable-ffmpeg(default is enable)
If you want to use ffmpeg support, you can build newest ffmpeg lib and install them, and you need --enable-pp and --enable-gpl when you build ffmpeg!

I've followed your instruction, but the GUI sill can't come out. But I can play media files with Vlc0.8.1 now, It's enough for me, I can debug into the vlc with the current status, I think I can find the real reason myself later. Thank you very much, your response is even much faster than many comer...

and I forgot to say that,
I've installed wxWidget2.5.3, I found that the wxwindows20031222 snap version(which is provided by videolan web downlaod page) has some errors when I build it! So I downloaded and installed the latest stable version!

Fkuehne! I followed your instructions! But I still can't make the GUI output, I only can login the console interface, It's as flollow: [root@localhost vlc-0.8.0]# ./vlc --intf=skins2 VLC media player 0.8.0 Janus Remote control interface initialized, `h' for help And I even can't play any video file ...

I've build the vlc0.8.0 in my redhat9.0 platform,
I configured it as the following:
./configure --enable-skin2
But I don't know how to start the vlc with GUI, Who can help me, thnaks very much!
