I'm trying to build vlc 0.8.6d on Windows Vista. I've managed to get it to build without errors. When I compare the released install with my install 'make package-win32-base' I don't have a libvlc.dll. I can run vlc.exe, but most of the buttons don't do anything, i.e. 'Open'. The UI is totally different as well. It doesn't look like a Windows app.

My main objective is to expose the snapshot feature through the activex control. If anyone has / can create a build to enable this I'd gladly take it.

Thanks,
Vincent

vlc configuration
--------------------
vlc version : 0.8.6d
system : mingw32
architecture : i686 mmx
build flavour : debug devel
vlc aliases : svlc wxvlc

You can tune the compiler flags in vlc-config.
To build vlc and its plugins, type `./compile' or `make'.

I re-config/built everything and it appears to be working. I don't have a libvlc.dll, but I guess I don't need it.

--enable-shared

Still not able to get the dll built. I've been tweaking the config, but am still hitting some errors;

../configure-vlc.sh: line 17: --with-ffmpeg-config-path=/usr/win32/include/ffmpeg: No such file or directory
../configure-vlc.sh: line 29: --with-dvdread=/usr/win32: No such file or directory

you are missing a \ after --enable-dvdread
