VLC 0.7.0 compiling errors

[Eric]

I installed a up to day full version, gcc3.3.1, and extracted the contrib-20040106-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2 (the precompiled header files were put to usr/win32), and config the compilation. All steps are successful, but errors occured within making.
The configure is:

./bootstrap && \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
./configure \
--disable-rpath \
--enable-nls \
--disable-dshow \
--disable-sdl \
--enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame \
--enable-faad \
--enable-flac \
--enable-theora \
--disable-skins \
--disable-gtk \
--with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin

Thanks for any help.

[heyhey]

If you can live without Matroska, try adding --disable-mkv to the configure command.

[Eric]

Great! It's all ok.
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I found that the volume value is 97, but the scale(blue color) is full. Is it a bug?
hoho.

[Eric]

I canceled the switch --disable-dshow, and then reconfigured the VLC, a warning was shown within the configuring.

And, errors occured when making VLC,

I wonder:
1. How can I solve this problem to enable the directshow?
2. What I need to do to enable the Matroska?
3. Why errors shown when compiling VLC according to INSTALL.win32?

[Gibalou]

The directshow problem is fixed in the development version of vlc (CVS).
The problem is actually a bug in the new version of mingw's w32api but we managed to find a work-around for it.

[The DJ]

And you either need a newer or an older version of matroska.

There was a change in it's API.
