it's so hard to compile vlc

I make it to make from these instructions.
git clean -fdx
# build the needed tools
cd extras/tools
./bootstrap && make

Then this happens.

Google Protobuf is notoriously tedious to deal with. Google simply doesn't care.

But TBH, compiling VLC for Windows and on Windows is not for beginners.
