I have difficulties to update livedotcom in vlc 0.8.5 compiling on Cygwin.

I could able to compile livedocom (standalone) sucessfully, but once i back to vlc and type "make". It will show the following errors.

I also tried to include -mno-cygwin option when I compiled livedotcom. But it would create more errors when I compiled livedotcome.

Any idea how to resolve this problems? Please kindly share your valuable comments. I really appreciate.

,hi,I got the same problem. the vlc version:vlc-snapshot-branch-0.8.6-bugfix-20070616.tar.gz, the contrib version:contrib-20070530-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2. And I download the live555 from website fo live,the version: . If I compile vlc with contrib, it's ok! I got the perfect vlc-0.8.6c. Then I compile the last version live, it's successfully. But I compile vlc failed when I instead new live-lib to the live of contrib. The wrong info is the same as above guy wrote.
Anyone can give us some suggestion?

I've got the same problem when I compiled vlc with live555 compiled by myself. When compiled live555, I've tried cygwin and mingw, I succeed. But when compiling with vlc, this issue comes out.
Any body can help us?

,hi, everybody, i have solved the problem. you have to fix the config.cygwin, C compiler is gcc, you need add " gcc -mno-cygwin" also, C++ compiler is c++ you can change to " g++ -mno-cygwin" ,last " ld -lws2_32 -o" .
I success build the vlc for the live555(although live compiling will report wrong, it's the test source code, never mind).
