Compiling VLC - Win32CompileMSYSNew

[sourceholder]

Hey there,

I am trying to compile VLC on my Windows machine using this VLC guide: http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYS

The guide seems to fly over many steps, so please bear with me as I may ask some silly questions.

I am currently stuck at step "Configure", second to last one on the guide. When I run the command: "sh extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh" at the MINGW32 window when inside the "/c/vlc/" directory, I get the following error message:

User@WindowsUser /c/vlc (master)
$ sh extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh
./extras/package/win32/configure-common.sh: line 2: ./configure: No such file or
directory

It appears to be unhappy with line 2 of "configure-common.sh". Upon furthur examination, here is what line 2 states: " --without-contrib \".

Has anyone else expierenced the same or similar problem? Does anyone have a link to a better, more "idiot proof" guide to compiling VLC?

You should be in \c\VLC\vlc. BTW ... the instructions are now completely changed.
