hi
when i use vlc1.1.0 compiled by myself(viewtopic.php?f=14&t=78210), i find a ploblem that it crashed using cmd line or in cygwin env.

D:\cygwin_new\home\jeremiah\vlc-1.1.0-good\vlc-1.1.0>vlc d:/video/01.avi

the error is micorsoft visual c++ runtime library

assertion failed
problem:.....
file:text/strings.c
line:1124
expression: path[0] == DIR_SEP_CHAR
......

but when i use the cmd:

D:\cygwin_new\home\jeremiah\vlc-1.1.0-good\vlc-1.1.0>vlc d:\video\01.avi

all is fine.

it's a bug or it's normal?
before vlc1.1.0, it doesn't get this error.

expected. Cygwin compilation isn't perfect.

so, can you tell me what does the videolan developers use to compile vlc?

mingw? or what ?

Linux.

And mingw when we don't have choice.

sounds good。

can videolan write a document how to compile vlc in linux?

we all appreciate that.
