Description

Hi there,
I am currently on the section labelled
Windows Store 8.1 x64 (Windows 8.1 x64 in Visual Studio)
After creating the directories I have the following : FFmpegInterop>ffmpeg>Output>Windows8.1>x64
When I try the following:
$ ../../../configure \

--toolchain=msvc
--disable-programs
--disable-dxva2
--arch=x86_64
--enable-shared
--enable-cross-compile
--target-os=win32
--extra-cflags="-MD -DWINAPI_FAMILY=WINAPI_FAMILY_PC_APP -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0603"
--extra-ldflags="-APPCONTAINER"
--prefix=../../../Build/Windows8.1/x64
I get the following error:
c99wrap cl is unable to create an executable file.
C compiler test failed.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

I have tried updating the ffmpeg file using the following git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
but I still get the same error?
Is this something I am doing wrong or is there currently a problem?
Thanks
