Hi, I'm trying do compile vlc for windows 8.1 (64bit) on ubuntu 14.04 (64bit), because I'm unable to use the sdk provided with it(trying to run it in Qt5- i know it wont work, but in 4.8 it doesn't either). I'm following this: https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/ ... _toolchain, with compiling the 3rd party libraries by myself (tried not doing it, but i get the same results).
I used the ../configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --disable-qt because i want to use qt5, and everything went well, until i run make, then i get this error:

Can anyone help me? or at least point me in the right direction?

pkg-config is seemingly not set up properly in your build environment.

Could you please elaborate a bit more? I tried playing around with pkg-config, but I have everything in the standard locations, and my system was installed 4 days ago, so i had no time to mess up anything, i hope. If it's any help, this is the build log after running make for the second time, to see better where the error occurs:

To build vlc and its plugins, type `make', or `./compile' if you like nice colors.

pkg-config seems to point at the native libraries, not the cross-compilation env.

Probably a PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=contrib/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig ../extras/pacakge/win32/configure.sh --host...
