vlc-0.7.2 compilation for windows -> wx problems

[babasse]

Hi,

I am trying to compile vlc-0.7.2 for Windows in a Cygwin environment.
I have followed all the inctructions that I have found in the pdf document in the contrib directory of your website. But I have a compilation error during the compilation of the wx GUI: some references remain undefined...
I work on a Windows XP Pro platform with cygwin installed as described in your pdf document, with the latest binary contrib available for the needed libraries.


Here are the compilation log messages:

I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks.

Based on your compile message, I think you have installed old library files. You should download and install the latest library file(contrib-20040520-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2) which is under http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/ directory and this version works for me.

Also you need to check if you install the right compile packages for Cygwin. The following link maybe help you some.
