Error compiling on windows with cygwin

[toratora]

Hi

I've followed step by step all the instructions here (not the optional ones):
http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwin

but when running ../configure-vlc.sh I get, after some other messages, this:

configure.ac:5239: warning: macro 'AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT' not found in library
+autoconf
configure.ac:5239: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT

I've searched the fourms and someone said it's because libgcrypt was not installed, but on usr/win32/lib i can find libgcrypt.a, libgcrypt.la, libgnutls.a, libgnutls.la.

Any ideas? Thanks

install libgcrypt-devel

How do I exactly do this so that it works with cygwin and all?

Thanks

Try using the setup.exe that comes with cygwin. It has an interface for downloading libraries for cygwin. It is there in one of the library sections you will find the library for download that was mentioned in this thread.

Good luck,
