<![CDATA[build vlc from source on windows with apt get how it possible?]]>Hello,

I'm trying to follow instruction to build vlc from source to get libvlc to use it with QT but I don't understand how we can use the cmd line # apt-get in windows, it's linux cmd, that is strange...

for website https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/ :

Compiler and binary toolchain
Mingw-w64

To compile VLC for Windows (32-bits or 64-bits), the Mingw-w64 toolchain is required:

For the 32-bit version, run this:


# apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64-i686 g++-mingw-w64-i686 mingw-w64-tools
