problem compiling

[Skunkmaster]

Hello I am trying to compile vlc for about 3 days now,
I overcame all the ad-dons, but now I get the following error while trying to compile it by make:

Code: Select all

I have checked the header file and it looks ok, I have also checked the compiler version vs the one in the howto file and they match.
any suggestions?

update your tree, and paste what's at the line mentioned in the errors (one line up and one line down too). also give your distribution and gcc version. good luck

Hi,
I am using the original source from svn at the moment so i am pretty sure its the source is not the issue.
I am using gcc version 3.441 as mentioned by the cygwin howto.

the only problem that I have found with the guide is that some of the versions of cygwin packages are old and the cygwin installation lets me install only new version even if I click and change them.

thanks for your reply, any help would be appreciated.

Hello again I got tired from trying to compile the package,
is there any chance that someone will zip its entire cygwin dir as is and send it to me.
I can give ftp access if needed,
contact at engeeks dot com
thank you.

Hello,

I am getting same issue as posted above. Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

I am using gcc version 3.4.4 and am working in Cygwin environment.

Thanks in advance

I am also getting this exact same error...

Don't use Cygwin, but Mingw/Msys. It is faster and works way better.
