- Please note that there is currenlty a bug in MSYS which requires you to
- edit the acgeneral.m4 file and replace the value of ac_max_sed_lines to

-- natively on Windows, using Microsoft Visual C++. Even though we provide some
- msvc project files with vlc, this method is advised only if you just want to
- experiment/play with some basic functionnalities in vlc. The reason for this
- is that vlc depends on a lot of 3rd party libraries and building them in
- MSVC is not convenient and sometimes even impossible.
- ( NOTE: if you want to run vlc under the msvc debugger, you need to run it
- with the --fast-mutex --win9x-cv-method=1 options because the debugger
- usually loses signals sent by PulseEvent() )
