I've installed and then reinstalled, but still get the same error:

bash: ../configure-vlc: No such file or directory.

I did exactly what the directions state:

7.1 Configure script for compiling VLC
===========================================

Create a new text document with the following lines:

./bootstrap && \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
./configure \
--enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin --disable-gtk \
--enable-nls \
--enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \
--with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
--with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \
--enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
--enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
--disable-gnomevfs \
--enable-dts \
--enable-debug \

NOTE: The following option is added for DTS Coherent Acoustics streams
decoding support. The latest "contrib" package should already contain
libdca (formerly known as libdts) needed to compile this but at present
it's disabled by default:

--enable-dts

NOTE: The following option is added for debug purposes and makes the final
package a bit larger but the advantage is it's easier to debug in case of
crash reports:

--enable-debug

Save as filename in your "scripts" folder at your download/install location:

configure-vlc

NOTE: This file does not have an extension (save using "All files" and not
"Text files" otherwise Windows might append the extension .txt)

Copy the file into your home directory:

C:\cygwin\home\Administrator


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Considering the "NOTE" above, since "configure-vlc" does not have an extentsion what kind of file is it (text)? I copied this file in to download/vlc/scripts and then cygwin/home/owner. When I'm at the step of compiling the VLC code I type "cd vlc-trunk" then "./toolbox --distclean" and it does it thing. After that I type "../configure-vlc" and that's where I get the error stating:
bash: ../configure-vlc: No such file or directory.
The file is there, but for some reason it does not read it. Please help me!


Thank you.

1. Check the availability of configure-vlc in the parent folder of vlc-trunk
2. Check the extension of configure-vlc
