more details:

both vlc and ffmpeg are compiled with "CC=gcc -mno-cygwin"

ffmpeg compiles and links correctly.
vlc compiles and fails to link against libavcodec.a with a

undefined reference to `___getreent'

hope this will help.

hello, i've been trying to link vlc to the modified ffmpeg that i compiled (and used) successfully. i'm working with winXP, cygwin, latest vlc subversion trunk and the latest pre-compiled libraries if i try to configure vlc it says that it cannot find _avcodec_init in libavcodec though the simple co...

sorry, my mistake.
i understood.....

uh?!? where? maybe my INSTALL.win32 is out-dated but the only thing relative to debugging is to run it from within msvc (and NOT with gdb in a cygwin environment) and it says to enable the following switches: --fast-mutex --win9x-cv-method=1 i tried. and this is the result: $ ./conf-vlc configure: e...

hello, i compiled vlc svn trunk on winXP, cygwin gcc-3.3.3-3, latest pre-compiled libraries package and the thing seemed to be working. the problem started when i tried to debug: entering VLC_Init it creates the playlist thread, enters into the RunThread and keeps on running inside the while loop ne...

i downloaded a cygwin release from scratch using the install.exe provided from http://www.cygwin.com/ taking care of choosing the unix text file option (CR instead of CRLF at the end of ascii lines) and it eventually worked. compilation works also if you downloaded the contrib libraries compiled wit...

in fact i have more or less the same problem. the configure of vlc fails for it does not find "_avcodec_init" in libavocdec.a (generated upon compilation of ffmpeg in ffmpeg/libavcodec) though the function is available as shown by nm -s. what version of gcc are you using? i am using gcc-3....

how are the libs compiled? what gcc flags were used? can i modify a library, recompile and hope it all will automatically link or shall i take into account some critical parameter?
thanx,

hi all, i can't compile vlc under windows with any of the sugestions written in the INSTALL.win32 file. consider that i started from a blank machine on which i had to install everyhing from scratch. i downloaded the pre-compiled contrib libraries and uncompressed them into /usr/win32 i tried first w...

hi all, after a long struggle i configured and compiled vlc with cygwin (the previous error has not been fixed yet though). when i tried to run it inside the bash shell og cygwin i got a "access denied" message. i searched the forum for other occurrences of the same issue and i found someo...

hi all, i've been trying to compile vlc on winXP usign cygwin, following what's written on INSTALL.win32. i downloaded the latest vlc trunk with svn, downloaded the latest cygwin (gcc-3.3.3, automake-2.59 etc.) installed with unix text file type but when i run the bootstrap all i get is the followin...
