Now, the compile finished without error,but I can't find the vlc.exe.
It SHOWS that at my compile end :
"......

"

when I command "make package-win32-base",It talls me that:
"Error:please remove ./vlc-0.9.1, it is in the way
make:*** [package-win-common] Error 1"
then I removed the vlc-0.9.1,and command again,it talls:
"make:*** No rule to make target 'vlc-0.9.1/Makefile.am', needed by 'vlc-0.9.1/Makefile.in'.Stop"(like playing with me)

What do they mean & What can I do?

Could you build any newer version?

I compile the vlc-0.9.3 & vlc-0.9.4 just now,but the final result is the same.

PS:
when I command "./bootstrap",it shows:
"NOTE: GNU gettext appears to be missing or out-of-date.
Please install or update GNU gettext.
Also check if you have cvs, a dependency of autopoint.
Otherwise, you will not be able to build a source tarball
Successfully bootstrapped."

It is a reason of this problem?
thanks.

You have both gettext and gettext-devel installed?

Yes,I haved installed them according by " http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew " ,when installing the cygwin.
Should I need install them separately.thx

Could you try git builds?

Sorry,what dose the git build mean.could you give me the details.
Thank you very much.

The cause of that is not doing this step:
"http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCy ... #Bootstrap "

This is not an issue.
