I tried to build vlc 0.9.2 from source on windows with cygwin, but got the errors:

enable or disable vlm in config makes no difference

btw: which pre-compiled contrib should I use for VLC 0.9.2 ? I have tried
contrib-20080811-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2 and
contrib-0.8.6e-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2

Thanks for your help

the compiler I use is
