Hate doing this, but build problems
Posted: 25 Jun 2004 21:53
Windows 2000 Pro, trying to build using Cygwin
I did everything according to the "Working Cygwin VLC Compile Environment" document [installed Cygwin from scratch], but couldn't get VLC to build.
I'm using contrib-20040520-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2 for the pre-compiled libraries, and I used svn-1.0.5 to get the latest trunk.
Unfortunately the document (although very welcome) is not really specific enough about exactly what Cygwin packages are needed. I tried using the basic options specified, and it failed to build. I installed a bunch more and now my Cygwin installation is up to 500Mb, but at least I got the build a bit further. This is now where it is falling over:
Obviously the problem starts with the line
which isn't very helpful.
Do I just keep downloading more Cygwin packages, or am I missing something obvious?
Note that my user name on this Windoze box contains spaces. However, I edited the profile and passwd files to give myself a name with no spaces.
Could this be the problem?
I also note that if I type at the bash prompt, the PATH environment variable contains my Windoze path, which obviously contains spaces - is that a problem?
Thanks in advance for any assistance
