Who can tell me, how to check out v0.8.5 from svn? and use which contrib packet ? http://download.videolan.org/pub/testin ... ly.tar.bz2
or other?

Install Cygwin,
install svn,
download latest contribute (higest Number)
download latest VLC svn
(eg. at cmd line type:
"c:\program\subversion\bin\svn" co svn://svn.videolan.org/vlc/trunk vlc-trunk")

read INSTALL.win32 carefully
try to compile...

Copy the Script in a textfile named "config_setup" or somthing like that.
Place it in the parent folder to "vlc-trunk".
Open Cygwin!
Within Cygwin execute it "../config_setup"
read the error messages carefully, and install the missing components in cygwin...

here is my script:
