I have had to compile VLC media player with a new version of live555 under cygwin context development. I have to say that even with all the information on Wikipedia it was quite an headache. I ran through many setup issues with both VLC player and the live555 library. Even with the Wikipedia documentation of the VLC team I couldn't have live555 successfully link with VLC player without having a lot of undefined. It took me a few days and a lot of googling to resolve all the issues. After looking at what I needed to resolve my linking problems it didn't seem a big deal. But for a newbie in cygwin development I was bewildered by the setting needed for successfully compiling the live555 for VLC media player. While googling I found that a lot of people ran through the same issues I have had. In some cases people took days to resolve their issues. Problem is that no posting anywhere give the whole clue about how to solve this confusing puzzle of compilation setup with live555 library. You have the find the pieces everywhere around the web. Giving the widespread of VLC and it dependence on live555 library I would suggest that a config file to compile the live555 for VLC with cygwin be included with the library. I have included such a template as an attachment. Here is my setting to successfully compile the live555 for VLC under cygwin. I know this could have been posted to VLC forums. However my feeling is that people will also look in live555 email archive for a solution.
