目标：在Ubuntu下编译可以在Windows(Win32)中运行的VLC

以下所有内容来自于VLC wiki中的Win32Compile文档

Building Methods

Cross-compile with Mingw on Linux

This page

Preferred method (uses cross compilation). On Windows, you should do it in a virtual machine.

推荐在Ubuntu中进行交叉编译（Windows下可以在虚拟机中安装Ubuntu），在Windows下本地编译比较麻烦，而且容易出错，调试也不方便。

Obtaining the toolchain

Each build method requires its own toolchain:

• Debian/Ubuntu users can apt-get install gcc-mingw32 mingw32-binutils. 

安装交叉编译工具链

 

• lua5.1
• all autotools: libtool, automake, autoconf, gnu make, gettext
• pkg-config
• git
• svn, cmake, cvs if you want to rebuild contribs
• zip, 7zip, nsis.

上面是需要安装的其它工具

Get the source code

$ git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

取得最新VLC源代码

Prepare 3rd party libraries

$ cd vlc

 $ mkdir -p contrib/win32
 $ cd contrib/win32
 $ ../bootstrap --host=i586-mingw32msvc
 $ make prebuilt

获取第三方的库（存放于VLC目录下contrib/win32目录中）

 $ cd -

上一步骤完成后返回VLC目录

Bootstrap

 $ ./bootstrap

Configure

Create a subfolder:

 $ mkdir win32 && cd win32

创建win32目录

Use the standard configuration:

$ ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i586-mingw32msvc

使用标准配置

Building VLC

Once configured, to build VLC, just run:

 $ make

make,这个不用解释

Packaging VLC

Once the compilation is done, you can build self-contained VLC packages with the following make rules:

打包，有好几种方式，按自己的需要选一个

Command	Description
make package-win-common	Creates a subdirectory named vlc-x.x.x with all the binaries. You can run VLC directly from this directory.
make package-win-strip (might be package-win32-strip)	Same as above but will create 'stripped' binaries (that is, smallest size, unusable with a debugger).
make package-win32-7zip	Same as above but will package the directory in a 7z file.
make package-win32-zip	Same as above but will package the directory in a zip file.
make package-win32	Same as above but will also create an auto-installer package. You must have NSIS installed in its default location for this to work.

Well done—you're ready to use VLC!

最终完成，拷贝到windows下试试吧
