Two build errors, help me

[KimGwanyoung]

Hi all.

I am trying build vlc-2.2.4 and vlc-3.0.0 with ubuntu 14.04 64bits.

But I met errors at these all.

1) in 2.2.4
vlc-2.2.4/win32 $ make
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `access/dvdread.c', needed by `access/libdvdread_plugin_la-dvdread.lo'. Stop.
I can't find a topic about this issue.

2) in 3.3.0
vlc/win32 $ ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++11 language features is required.
I found a topic about this, but I can't see higher version of i686-w64-mingw32-g++.

How can I solve these problem?

According to the wiki, ubuntu 14.04 is too old to compile recent versions of VLC. try 16.04 on a virtual machine if you can't upgrade your current one. I was able to compile vlc 3.0.0 on ubuntu 16.04 it wasn't easy though. had to solve several problems. like you need protobuf > 3.0 (I had to use protobuf 3.1) and not ubuntu's protobuf 2.6. Also when you try again don't forget to do make clean before make.

OK, I am downloading the ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
But for the vlc-2.2.4, does the 16.04 need too?

Hi, I rebuild now.
But I met another error when I typed "make" after "make fetch".
d3d11/d3d11.idl:20: error: Unable to open include file oaidl.idl
I couldn't find a topic about this at vlc forum and google.

Did you ever seen this error?

I modified contrib/src/d3d11/rules.mak and contrib/src/d3d9/rules.mak.
====================================================
ifdef HAVE_CROSS_COMPILE
IDL_INC_PATH = /usr/include/wine/windows/
else
#ugly way to get the default location of standard idl files
IDL_INC_PATH = /`echo $(MSYSTEM) | tr A-Z a-z`/$(BUILD)/include
endif

+IDL_INC_PATH = /usr/include/wine-development/windows/
====================================================
I added last line.
And install protobuf 3.1.
So, ./configure is OK.

Then, type make, last process.
And error too. T.T

The error message.
../../extras/package/win32/../../../modules/access/dshow/access.h:33:24: fatal error: wrl/client.h: No such file or directory

If you know this, let me know how to fix.

Sorry for late reply. not sure if 2.2.4 requires it. I think it does.

Yes I encountered the same issue with missing wrl. you can find it online on github.

I downloaded it from here: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/min ... clude/wrl/

then copied wrl into contrib/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include folder.

in your case it should be contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/include

Hi theguy.
First of all, thanks very very much for your attention and advice.

The build is done.

For others who have the same problem, I leave more mention(in my build process).
In conclusion, in the same issue with "wrl/client.h",need 6 files.

I am trying to package VLC for ms windows, because I met errors too while packaging!!!

added - the cause of packaging error was the directory name "/usr/include/wine-development". I changed the directory to "/usr/include/wine".


Thanks to theguy, I didn't give up.

thank you , this work for me

Hi, thank you for your poster. I also meet this error after I make fetch. could you tell me how you solve it? Thank you very much!
