I got the same issue. I also believe the problem comes from the | |.
But could anybody tell me how to fix it?

Best Regards,

Does anyone have a solution for this? I am having the same problem as well. xingzhi123, could you please explain how you solved the problem? Perhaps explain how you reverted back to an old version of cygwin?

Please and thank you!

Dear all:

Instead of going back to an older verison of cygwin, I tried other solution.
After VLC successful configuration, open a file named "libtool" in your vlc-0.9.x and change one line in line 144

Code: Select all

# Take the output of nm and produce a listing of raw symbols and C names. global_symbol_pipe="sed -n -e 's/^.*[ ]\\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\\)[ ][ ]*\\(\\)\\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\\)\$/\\1\\2\\3 \\3/p'"
Type make or compile and enjoy the ride :wink:

I think it is cygwin's libtool problem :evil:
Maybe someone can try to use older version of libtool under cygwin.

ps: I personally recommend not trying to build vlc-0.9.8 under cygwin
while vlc-0.9.6 is O.K with the above mentioned solution.

Hi, I changed the line 144 in libtool file as you indicated and the "|" problem went away. However, I got another error, link: invalid option -- d, while make. How can I fix it? Thanks! Ps. I tried with both v0.9.8a and v0.9.6 and had no luck on both.

Building the latest VLC off of git, updated as of 6 hours ago. Very latest Cygwin tools.

Need to make the ECHO= to echo= substitution in multiple of the contribs, plus in VLC's own root libroot file. Is there a reasonable way to automate that change during the build process (ifdef CYGWIN execute a SED to change the libroot ECHO= to echo=)

gettext just doesn't seem to build right in the vlc extras/contrib -- files for the .exe come out way larger than Cywgwin's own distribution (we're talking > 1MB files vs a couple 10s of kb). I end up overlaying a copy of the Cygwin gettext files into contrib.

I run into the global_symbol_pipe problem, as previously noted -- the change to line 144 works for me, too. Another candidate for a patch of some kind...

For contrib, zvbi is the only file that didn't seem to build OK under Cygwin, after at most minor tweaking (an occasional rerun of autoconf). I commented it out. I suspect multiple of the contrib could/should be commented out for a Windows contrib build (zvbi, used for Linux V4L, doesn't make sense to build for Windows, best I can tell, nor do Mac-specific items. The fact that something nominally cleared a build, produced DLLs or .exe, doesn't necessarily mean that it will do anything on a Win box.).

Regarding the "invalid option: -d" error for link... I believe I fixed this - also in the generated libtool file, I replaced

Code: Select all

NM="link -dump -symbols"
with

Code: Select all

NM="nm"
I'm not sure why configure didn't see the nm executable
