While I complile VLC on cross-compiling with gcc-3.3.1 package,
./bootstrap && \
PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin:$PATH \
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/win32/include \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \

--with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
--enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
--enable-debug
After finish steps , the screen print the error “configure: error: cannot find libdvdread headers ”
Could you support me , ? thanks in advance !

which contrib package ? which version of vlc ? Are the headers there and just not detected by configure or just not here at all.

For my personnal statistic, may i ask why you are ompiling from source ?

Firstly thank your reply in a so short time !
My package info is as followed :
--------------
contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2
mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.bz2
vlc-0.8.5-test2
I am poor in programming , I try my best to learn C/C++.
I want to learn to compile from source , However I failed to compile.
I ever tried to compile by Visual C++ , it is too hard to compile .
Could you give your good advice , thank you very much !
