Hi,
With the help of this forum, I was able to compile VCL 1.1.0rc3 and 1.1.11 on Windows XP. A big thanks.
Now my next task is to compile VLC 1.2.0 on Windows
I have downloaded the code through GIT on Windows. For the compilation, I have used gcc-4.4.4-runtime contrib files version 20110711 (latest from
http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs/). As usual, I am following the tutorial
http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew.
If I try to compile the downloaded 1.2.0 code without any changes, I get following error when executing configure-msys.sh (1.2.0 has it's own configure-msys.sh and configure-common.sh):
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
checking for 3rd party libraries path... not found
configure: error: Third party libraries not found!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On comparing configure-common.sh with the one provided in the tutorial, I found that the contrib flag wasn't assigned in 1.2.0. I made this assignment change to configure-common.sh and then again executed. This time, following error was observed:

It seems that the bootstrap is creating an errornous file. Please suggest what change should I do so that I am able to compile the 1.2.0 code.
Thanks in advance..
