I am trying to build VLC in Windows with Mingw and MSYS. When I run the following commands:
../bootstrap --build=i686-w64-mingw32
make prebuilt
This error stops the build process:
mv: cannot move `i686-w64-mingw32' to `../i686-w64-mingw32': Permission denied
make: *** [prebuilt] Error 1
What is this error, and how do I solve it? Even though I have write access to the directory, and I've edited the files as per the Mingw website, I am still stuck with this error.
Solved the problem by setting: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/win32/lib/pkgconfig at the beginning of the compilation instructions. Hope it helps someone.

Do you have permissions to write on the parent folder as well? – kenkh – 2014-07-15T11:11:53.963
Yes, and I run the msys.bat command as an administrator... and still nothing – eatingapples – 2014-07-15T13:19:14.020
