INSTALL file for the Windows9x/Me/NT4/2k/XP version of the VLC media player
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() )
- or on Linux, using the mingw32 cross-compiler.
I also provide a package with all the libraries already compiled so it is
actually really easy to compile a full-featured version of vlc (these compiled
libraries will only work with mingw or cygwin):

All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files
-and libraries will be put in /usr/win32)
+and libraries will be put in /usr/win32). You can do this with the following
+command: "tar xjvf contrib-20030622-win32-bin.tar.bz2 -C /"
