Cross compilation problems

[totally_random_alias]

Hi,

I've been attempting to cross compile VLC for Windows on my Debian linux box. I follow the extras/contrib method detailed here however after some workings get the following error:

Not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help appreciated, even if they're RTFMs.
