Cannot compile VLC for windows

[henryxuv]

I follow the "how to compile" steps. succefully install mingw and bootstrap, but I got a error message when try to configure the VLC by
../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32

Error message is:
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check.

I have totally no idea what cause this. I search this, someone said it's because lack of g++, My g++ works fine, also my mingw-g++ work normally.

My platform is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit. mingw-g++ version is 4.6.3
Thanks
