Can we compile VLC Source Code using VC++6.0

[yamini_s]

I have downloaded VLC source code and trying to compile using vc++6.0. I need to implement use this source code in vc++6.0. I saw in website they recommend cygwin but if i compile using cygwin can i use the code in vc++ for further usage. If no other go can anyone explain me how to use cygwin.

for Cygwin related stuff. In theory I think one could compile VLC with VC++ 6.0 but it would require some serious effort to fix/modify code.

I want to compile the vlc source code using vc++6.0 and do step by step execution but not able to compile the vlc source code in vc++. Should i have to add any files to the IDE so that it can compile

Then you are probably on your own.

I compiled Live555 Is That the way i have to compile VLC source code. Please let me know

[VLC_help]

Cygwin is currently only working option under Windows if you want to compile VLC or some part of it.

So u mean to say that I can not develop in vc++6.0 this vlc source code.

Currently no (you can edit code, but compiling or debugging won't work).
