I am getting the following problem when I am building vlc media player. Could any expert help? Thanks ahead.

*** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive /usr/win32/lib/libgcrypt.la.

Here is configure-vlc.sh I am using:

./bootstrap && \

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \

Yes. Use a newer contrib.

I had the same problem. Yes, using a new contrib help to fix libgcrypt.la error, but now I am getting the following problem:
