Learn how to programming VLC source

[hecram]

Hi, I am trying to modify adding features to the VLC source. I didn´t it before and I don´t know how to compile properly each time I add some lines of code in any archive of the source because give problems about the compiler didn´t found the libraries. I am using the Microsoft eMBedded Visual C++, and I am modifing the file regarding to the ts.c in the mux and demux modules. I am working with libdvbpsi library too.

Please anybody can teach me the way to develop the source code, compiling...?

Thank you.

VLC is normally compiled for Windows on Linux, although it can be done using Cygwin or MinGW/MSYS. For more information on compiling on Windows see here:

I am not sure if it can be compiled using MS Visual C++, if it can be done there will likely be a lot of issues met in doing so. I would recommend trying Cygwin/MinGW instead.

Cheers, Arite.

Compile using CYGWIN on windows, or crosscompile from Ubuntu.
