configure: error: cannot find libdvdread headers

Postby El_Gusano » 26 May 2006 18:15

I get this error when compiling VLC on Cygwin:

checking dvdread/dvd_reader.h presence... no
checking for dvdread/dvd_reader.h... no
configure: error: cannot find libdvdread headers

I thought everything needed to compile VLC on cygwin came with the VLC trunk and the precompiled libraries. I've tried downloading libdvdread but don't know exactly where to place the files. I've tried placing the dvdread folder in /vlc-trunk/ and also /vlc-trunk/include/, but I still get the same "cannot find libdvdread headers" error.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

I copied the dvdread folder to /usr/include/ and it stopped complaining. But now it can't find development headers for libfaad. But I'm using the precompiled libraries... how can I tell the compiler to ignore the development headers and use the precompiled libraries?

Look in config.log to see where it looks and why it doesn't find them
