Hello,

I'm trying to build static version of VLC (so that all modules are built-in) using following configuration:

CONTRIB_TREE=/usr/win32
PATH=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin:$PATH \
./bootstrap && \
CPPFLAGS="-I${CONTRIB_TREE}/include -I${CONTRIB_TREE}/include/ebml" \
LDFLAGS=-L${CONTRIB_TREE}/lib \
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=${CONTRIB_TREE}/lib/pkgconfig \
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
./configure \
--prefix=/home/ak/pak/vlc-0.9.6.bak1/build \
--host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
--enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin --disable-gtk \
--enable-static \
--disable-shared \
--enable-nls \
--disable-qt4 \
--disable-skins2 \
--disable-wince \
--disable-opie \
--enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \
--with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
--with-wx-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
--with-freetype-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
--with-fribidi-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
--enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=${CONTRIB_TREE}/live.com \
--with-xml2-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
--with-dvdnav-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
--disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
--enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
--disable-gnomevfs \
--enable-dca \
--enable-release \
--enable-activex \


There are following link errors as a result:

What is wrong?

You cannot do static in 0.9.6. In 0.8.6 it didn't work correctly, now it doesn't work at all.
