Hello!

I am compiling vlc media player for wince

Souce file is
VLC version : 0.8.2
Cross-tools: wince-arm-gcc4.0.0-cvs-linux-crosscompiler-20050517.tar.tar
lib package : contrib-20050220-wince-xscale-bin.tar.tar

I followed INSTALL.wince document
configure is OK but when I make, I meet the following error message
I don't know how to solve this problem
please tell me ~~~

./modules/gui/wince/wince_rc.o -lcommctrl -lcommdlg -laygshell -lz -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -ldvbpsi -logg -lfaad -lvorbisidec -logg lib/libvlc.a
/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/lib/gcc/arm-wince-pe/4.1.0/../../../../arm-wince-pe/bin/ld: cannot find -lws2

./modules/gui/wince/wince_rc.o -lcommctrl -lcommdlg -laygshell -lz -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -lws2 -ldvbpsi -logg -lfaad -lvorbisidec -logg lib/libvlc.a

You seem to have specified -lws2 more than once there.
(Seven times? o_0)

lws2 is probably winsock2 library? (I could be wrong.)

i have the same problem with crony76

or crony76 solve it?

does anybody can help me?

There is an error in the INSTALL.wince file.

The 2 lines: should go in one line If there are still 2 lines the LDFLAGS field is simply overriden and the make command cannot find the ws2 lib which is in the cross-tools/lib folder.

There is another error in the file should be With these corrections I was able to compile the 0.8.4 release. The newest release 0.8.5 still contains some errors.

PS: Where can I report these errors?

After correct this two lines, there are some errors ,afterward i added the --disable-gnomevfs --disable-smb --disable-skins2
compile success,the vlc.exe occur in my documentation,anybody want to compile vlc for wince, you can try this and dicuss together.

I think it's because you are run the compiler in cygwin as I ever first did, however, the compiler is Linux elf, so you must move to a native Linux.
