I have been getting following error since yesterday when i try to get latest source from git.
git.exe clone -v "git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git" "F:\Ubnt\vlc\vlc-git\vlc"
Initialized empty Git repository in F:/Ubnt/vlc/vlc-git/vlc/.git/
git.videolan.org[0: 91.121.111.144]: errno=Invalid argument
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Invalid argument)
does anyone have any solution for this?
regards
Abhijit

Using git from a real POSIX operating system will probably fix it (or return a more helpful error message).

But the wiki for setting up windows devel environment using msys/mingw suggests to install git and tortoisegit.
So this approach is not going to work?
Ive been trying to build vlc-1.0.2 stable source on windows.
It requires a fix in libtool after configuring. After that it still fails to build.
Is there anyone who has successfuly built vlc on windows?

Didn't I tell you the error message would be more explicit... Indeed you're firewalled.
