The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I just set up a dev environment as described in http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew. Now when I run configure it keeps telling me that it can't find the headers of the contrib archive.
How can I tell it to use the headers (which are present in /win32/include and in /usr/win32/include)?

Thanks.

Which contrib package you used?

I used the latest I could find: contrib-20111017-win32-bin-gcc-4.4.4-runtime-3.17-only.tar.bz2
And I used the latest snapshot of tht vlc git repository this morning

I can confirm this issue also. configure no longer detects the location of the contribs as it previously had done so, say, a few weeks back. adding the '--with-contrib=/usr/win32' doesn't help.
Perhaps the directory structure and/or location has changed.

(using an updated msys and mingw32 with gcc 4.6.1)

So it's not my fault . The question now is: How can we fix this?
