Thanks Jean-Baptiste,

pkg-config-dev_0.23-3_win32.zip solves both the requirement for m4_pattern_allow's (^dnl ^AC_ ^AS_ ^m4) and the missing PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro definition.

Working from the same doc, Win32CompileMSYSNew, I have an XP system very similar to your's and experienced the same problems. I found that the msys/mingw env was missing pkg.m4, which is where the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro is defined. I copied pkg.m4 from a Debian build system into vlc-1.0.3/m4 and bo...

Yes, that's the problem:

gcc-mingw32-4.4.2-1
mingw32-binutils-2.18.50-200801
mingw32-runtime-3.13.1

Thanks for all your help.

1.1.0 is the trunk so you get it with

Code: Select all

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

Ah, that's why I didn't see it explicitly listed as a branch or tag, thanks very much.

Sorry, not being particularly familiar with git, `git branch -r` does not show a 1.1.0 branch, origin/1.0-bugfix seems the closest.

What am I missing ?

Thanks.

Thanks, will give 1.1.0 branch a try immediately.

Same failure mode whether run from Windows Explorer, Command Promt, Msys or Cygwin, immediate: "VLC crash reporting" dialog box VLC media player just crashed. Do you want to send a bug report to the developers team ? In Mysy and Cygwin env's "vlc.exe -vvv -extraintf=logger" does ...
