Hi i'm a newbie in VLC and as x_tine i am currently trying to configure vlc in windows. I successfully bootstrapped also but i'm having problems with the configure. It gives an error about C compiler cannot create executable after running sh extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh. I installed gcc using MingW exe and its version is 3.4.5. already overwritten with gcc 4.2.1 contribs. what's wrong?

error info:

If it is still lacking I could post the log info. Thanks in advance.
