Build successful but cannot launch player

[vlcmodders]

Hi I have built both VLC-2.1.0 and VLC-2.1.3 in windows using the Msys/MingW setup specified here https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew/. But after building when I launch the player I get an error dialog box saying:

VLC Media Player could not start. Either the command line options were invalid or no plugins were found.

I tried to set the VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable and then launching, but it did not change anything. When I debug with gdb for msys, the error message I get is:

main libvlc error: No plugins found! Check your vlc installation.

Have managed to get it running now but only by copying the VLC dlls from an existing installation of VLC 2.1.3. This installation was from the windows installer for VLC. Would still like to know if there are any workarounds to my problems
