I just downloaded latest git and and ran both "DownloadBuildDeps.bat" and "DownloadMingwBuildEnv.bat" with no errors.
Then I tryed to compile via VS2010express and got one error:

Code:

AddonCallbacksCodec.cpp
3>..\..\xbmc\addons\AddonCallbacksCodec.cpp(27): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'libavcodec/avcodec.h': No such file or directory

If I am not mistaken, "libavcodec" is part of ffmpeg? How do I include this?

The wiki page says the following under "Setting up the build Environment":
2. DownloadMingwBuildEnv.bat (also located in the folder project\BuildDependencies) to download the necessary items for building the ffmpeg libraries.
3. buildmingwlibs.bat (in project\Win32BuildSetup). This will build the ffmpeg libraries.

I ran the first one allready, but the seccond one, "buildmingwlibs.bat" is nowhere to be found. It is not located in project\Win32BuildSetup folder. Only have "buildffmpeg.sh".

What am I missing here?

The wiki page isn't up-to-date yet. Run xbmc/project/Win32BuildSetup/BuildSetup.bat once which should build ffmpeg for you as part of the process. After that you should be fine to compile in VS2010 Express.
As an alternative you can try to run tools/buildsteps/win32/make-mingwlibs.bat but I'm not 100% sure if that works as a standalone batch script or if it requires a certain environment.

Thank you very much Montellese

It worked by using the make-mingwlibs.bat file

I've updated the wiki on Saturday. Did I miss a page?
And yes the make-mingwlibs.bat should work standalone.

Maybe I am reading this wrong...

Under
3 Setting up the build Environment, Step 3:

Code:

buildmingwlibs.bat (in project\Win32BuildSetup). This will build the ffmpeg libraries.

Thanks for the pointer and fixed.
