configure.sh failing to see mingw32-runtime 3.17 installed
Posted: 08 Jan 2014 00:49
I am following https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/
Build environment is Debian 7.3 x32 (installed in VMPlayer 5.0.3).
Target is Windows x32.
Using VLC stable source 2.1.2: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videol ... 1.2.tar.xz
I have installed all required packages (or verified they're installed):
http://people.videolan.org/~jb/debian/m ... an_all.deb

https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/ ... _the_build
Error is always:

Why is configure.sh failing to pick up that mingw32-runtime 3.17.0-0 is installed?
I have examined configure.sh hoping to spot a misconfiguration, but the bash code is beyond my ability.
EXTRA NOTE:
gcc-mingw32 and binutils-mingw32 cannot both be installed as the instructions direct
I have installed gcc-mingw32:
I did NOT install binutils-mingw32 because the package says it will uninstall gcc-mingw32. If I try to install them both in the same command line I get a you have requested an impossible situation message:
I can only assume this is okay because when I installed gcc-mingw32 several bintuils were also installed as follows:
This is my 4th try cross-compiling VLC for Windows. I have previously tried on Debian 7.2 x64, Ubuntu 12.04 x64, and Ubuntu 12.04 x32. In all cases I can get no further than the blasted configure step. In my humble opinion the instructions at https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/ need to be updated as they simply don't work.
