I downloaded following source code files from http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/latest/
contribs-1.0.2-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.15.2-only.tar.bz2
vlc-1.0.2.tar.bz2

After configuring and running make i get following error.

fluidsynth.a and fluidsynth.la are present in /usr/win32/lib.
Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

Unless you need MIDI software synthesis, you might as well disable the fluidsynth support at configure stage.
