I builded the vlc-1.1.4 with cygwin in windows xp sp3, and used the following compile option:

PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH \
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
./configure \
--host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
--enable-nls \
--enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
--enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \
--enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--enable-goom \
--enable-dvdread \
--enable-debug --disable-optimizations \
--disable-mkv --disable-taglib --disable-zvbi --disable-dirac \
--disable-x264 --disable-fluidsynth --disable-projectm

I builed successfully! But the vlc play mkv and dat video files crash!
I modified the compile option "--disable-mkv" for "--enable-mkv", but it compile error!
I use the source and contrib:
vlc-1.1.4.tar.bz2
contrib-20100616-win32-bin-gcc-4.4.4-runtime-3.17-only.tar.bz2

Please help me how to builed the vlc and can play mkv and dat video files!

Use mingw to compile , and enable mkv build option.

I use cygwin to compile and use "--enable-mkv" build option, but it make error:

I can't use cygwin build mkv option? And must use mingw build mkv option?

I download the vlc-1.1.4 and install, it can play "CDXA/MPEG-PS" video file, but it will auto add a video stream when play for a moment, and the new video stream window is black. Then the vlc have two video windows! But I play other video(not "CDXA/MPEG-PS" codec) have one video window only.

No and yes.

I download the vlc-1.1.4 and install, it can play "CDXA/MPEG-PS" video file, but it will auto add a video stream when play for a moment, and the new video stream window is black. Then the vlc have two video windows! But I play other video(not "CDXA/MPEG-PS" codec) have one video window only.

Because it has 2 video tracks.

But I use kmplayer, mpc etc. play the "CDXA/MPEG-PS" video file only have a video track. I use mediainfo tool analyse the file and it only show one video track and one audio track. I play other "CDXA/MPEG-PS" video file and mostly of them gain the same thing.
