vlc-0.8.6a compilation on WinCE Platform

[amareshram]

I have downloaded source for VLC-0.8.6a and successfully compiled on Window environment using cygwin and contrib.

Now I am trying to compile the same for the WINCE. I have downloaded and installed cross-compiler as well as contrib available for wince on VLC portal. But on issueing configure request as specified in install.wince, I am getting following error:

Yes, WinCE port is broken for a while now. You need to update the contribution process to do so. USe CeGCC to compile ffmpeg.

Thanks for the information.

I have installed CeGCC downloaded from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cegcc/cegcc-linux-0.03.tar.gz and tried to compile the sample code provided on http://cegcc.berlios.de/prerelease.html.

It produces following error:
***********
arm-wince-pe-gcc: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
***********

libiconv.so.2 is available at /usr/local/lib on my system.

can someone help me to resolve this issue?

locate them on /usr/lib. not /usr/local/lib. simply copy those files on /usr/lib or install libiconv with --prefix=/usr/lib
