| 98 | 99 | All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files |
|---|
| 99 | 100 | and libraries will be put in /usr/win32). You can do this with the following |
|---|
| 100 | | command: "tar xjvf contrib-20040229-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2 -C /" |

| 163 | | If you are using cygwin, you can build VLC with or without the unix emulation |

| 165 | | something like this: |

| | 170 | hasn't been tested in about a year or so. So to build without the |

| | 171 | emulation layer, use something like this: |

| | 172 | |
|---|
| 166 | 173 | ./bootstrap && \ |

| 167 | 174 | CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \ |
|---|
| … | … | |
| 186 | 193 | |
|---|
| 187 | 194 | If you want to use the emulation layer, then just omit the CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" |
|---|
| 188 | | CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" line. |
|---|
| | 195 | CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" line. You're on your own though. |

| 189 | 196 | |
|---|
| 190 | 197 | If you are compiling with MSYS/MINGW, then you can use something along those |
