-
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-w64To 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 -
You are following the instructions to cross compile from Linux to Windows, use https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew/ instead

I know this is an old thread, but since it still shows up in search results: In case someone has issue with cross-compiling vlc4.0 from linux to windows, You can also checkout a blog on this issue: https://medium.com/@skdevane/building-vlc-4-0-for-windows-inside-wsl2-every-wall-i-hit-and-how-i-got-through-them-72e6e1e2d456
