Need help compiling VLC player on WIN with CYGWIN

[TheAmateur]

I followed the instruction in the VLC Wiki and got this error when trying to compile.

Hello

******** I THINk this thread should be under VLC for windows topic ********

I skipped this error caused on vlc-snapshot-20080714 and on latest GIT version by downloading the contrib-20080215-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2
package.

But you will fall into another error later:

Please someone who has done it tell us all the dependencies..

Environment :
- Cygwin / winxp
- contrib-20080215-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2
- latest GIT-VLC (tested on 20080715)
- gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)

[Arite]

Topic moved to VLC media player for Windows forum.

Arite.

[free_chao]

I have the same question. hope someone tell us how to do?

[VLC_help]

You need newer contribs.

http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs/

[TheAmateur]

Thanks VLC_help, with the new contrib, I can complete the compilation and run the player.

[jack_jones]

I encounter the same problem with basos.
Who can tell me what i can do for it,thank you very much.

[VLC_help]

As I said earlier, update your contribs.

[jack_jones]

I use the latest contribs for vlc-0.9.1,
"contrib-20080811-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2"，
"contrib-20080528-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2",
"contrib-20080702-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2"

however,I have the same problem:

I have not any ideas.

[VLC_help]

disable libmkv support during configure
--disable-mkv

[jack_jones]

Vlc-help:
Thank you for your reply.when setting "disable-mkv",I can compile more.
Now I encounter a new error:

I updated the qt4 with"qt4-4.4.1-win32-bin.tar.bz2",but it is not useful.
Can you give me some suggested for that.thanks.
