Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.

or what does this statement mean

Code: Select all

PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH ./bootstrap
specifically the bold part PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH ./bootstrap
I don't know how to answer it coz i dont know where to look for the problem. Help... :(

I'm doing a study on how to improve an algorithm in x264 and before i could proceed i have to understand how to compile and build vlc and x264.

By the way I'm using windows xp and windows 7. and the Msys and Mingw versions are those that are stated on the tutorial.
