Hello,
I followed the instructions in install.win32 for cygwin and the configuration works fine, but when i try to 'make' i eventually get the following error...

if anyone know's how this can be avoided please let me know, any suggestions would be appreciated,
thanks.

Sorry about that, a file was missing in the snapshots. Should be fixed in the next one.

Does anyone which recent snapshots definitely compile ok using cygwin, following the instructions in install.win32???
Thanks

I just had precisely the same error set crop up, trying to compile under mingw, current snapshot of vlc.

The "undeclared" functions that playlist.c is generating errors against appear to be in the other .c files in that directory. (old.c, pls.c, m3u.c).

No clue how to tell playlist.c that those things will appear shortly -- is there a compiler switch that needs to go in the makefile?

There's a newer snapshot, with a playlist.h file in the directory where the make was going bad. (the errors were a lack of a header file, referencing the "undeclared" functions that appear in the other .c files)

Hi, now that i have the replaced playlist.h file I am still encountering an error...

this one really has me stumped.... any suggestions will be appreciated,

This has just recently been answered in the forum

'remove the offending line, snapshots don't have valid win32 version strings'

Oh, thanks, you have all been very helpful, i really appreciate it.
