Hi, I just wanted to make you aware that the latest vlc-trunk (2006/11/20) produces the following error when cross-compiling VLC for win32 on Debian Etch using mingw32 ver.3.4.5...: libffmpeg_plugin.a(libffmpeg_plugin_a-scale.o): In function `CloseScaler__0_8_6c':/home/bendeb4rc1/VLC/vlc-trunk-new/m...

I posted the latest results in cross-compiling VLC for win32 on Debian Etch under the following link: viewtopic.php?p=89011#89011

OK, I succeeded in cross-compiling VLC for Win32 using Debian Etch. Here are the following steps I did: 1. install mingw32 -> make sure you install version 3.4.5...otherwise you get linking errors 2. install latest win32 libs (contrib-20061119-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2) from /pub/testing/win3...

Ok, I installed Debian Etch RC1 and mingw32 ver. 3.4.5. I also extracted the additional win32 libs "contrib-20061112-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2" in /usr/win32 and downloaded the latest svn trunk today. I think you are right that the mingw32 version is responsible for all the linking ...

Ok, yesterday I've tried to compile VLC again using the following configure script: PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \ CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ \ JAVA=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0...

Here is the error which I got when using the precompiled libs from the testing/win32 directory: /usr/win32/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6-i586-mingw32msvc.a(baselib_wxchar.o):wxchar.cpp:(.text+0x3b): undefined reference to `_mbsrtowcs' /usr/win32/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6-i586-mingw32msvc.a(baselib_wxchar.o):wxchar....

Thanks a lot for these hints and the link ustunozgur. I think I could need it in the next time because I have often several errors when cross compiling the vlc. Regarding manually cross compiling the libs - which ./configure do I have to take? The one from the vlc-trunk directory or a different one?...

Ok, thanks. I will try and let you know. Another question: I also tried to compile vlc from source using the mingw32 and the precompiled win32 libraries from the videolan site. I also installed the gettext and libiconv libraries with the default prefixes=/usr/local. But when I compile he still searc...

Hello, I'd like to compile vlc with enabled-java-bindings from source for a win32 platform. Therefore I use the mingw32 cross compiler under a Debian 3.1 distribution. I downloaded the latest vlc-trunk using svn. Then I changed to "extras/contrib" dir and executed ./bootstrap i586-mingw32m...

Ok, thanks a lot! It worked!
I had already tested it with the option but always with the wrong path /usr/local.

Thanks

Hello guys, I really really need your help because all the posts in the vlc forum which already dealt with this topic could not help me! I like to compile vlc for win32 from source including the java bindings on a Debian 3.1 distribution. I read all the instructions, readme files and posts in the vl...

Hello, it's me again, I'm sorry, I've just read an older post in the VLC forum about saving/copying an h.264 stream to an mp4 file. There it is said that VLC is not able to save an h.264 stream to a file without transcoding it. That's because of the architecture of h.264 including its DTS. Is it rig...

Hello, (I'm sorry, I posted this message also in "General VLC discussion" but afterwards found this Forum and thought it would be better to post it in here) I use the VLC Player (in Windows, but I think that's not that important here) to open a multicast stream specified by a sdp file. The...

Hello, I use the VLC Player (in Windows, but I think that's not that important here) to open a multicast stream specified by a sdp file. The multicast stream consists of an h.264 stream at a specific port and an AAC-hbr stream at a different port. VLC plays it without problems. Now I'd like to save ...

Hello, I've already tried to find a forum on the JVLC page but couldn't find one. That's why I post my question to this forum. I am using the JVLC project to play h.264 streams in my java swing application. Therefore I embedded a JVLCPanel in one of my Swing panels and connected a CheckBox with the ...
