I have downloaded VLC source code and trying to compile using vc++6.0. I need to implement use this source code in vc++6.0. I saw in website they recommend cygwin but if i compile using cygwin can i use the code in vc++ for further usage. If no other go can anyone explain me how to use cygwin.

for Cygwin related stuff. In theory I think one could compile VLC with VC++ 6.0 but it would require some serious effort to fix/modify code.

Cygwin is currently only working option under Windows if you want to compile VLC or some part of it.

Currently no (you can edit code, but compiling or debugging won't work).
