What about ffmpeg ? Did you cross compile it also for WinCE ? I have tried once, but I could not manage to do that... Would it be possible that you post this too ?

Have you managed to make it work on a real target ?

I have also compiled vlc-0.8.4 for WinCE but the executable I have got cannot run neither on an emulator nor on a smartphone...
Could you give me/us a HOWTO file with the things to modify and the compiler configurations ?

Thanks !

My advice would be to use a software like SourceNavigator to browse your source code. Thanks to this tool, you will be able to understand the header's inclusion tree. There are some headers file which include others and indeed, it can drive craizy ;) But with redefinition the problem often comes fro...

Almost done ! Maybe if I manage to solve this (last ?) error, I could build an available executable for WinCE :) Well, during the build of the vlc.exe file, I face these unresolved external symbols : g++ -Wsign-compare -Wall -D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D__CEGCC__ -D_WIN32_WCE -DUNDER...

I finally found some precompiled librairies here : http://gnunet.org/hacking_win32_build.php3?xlang=French I added two or three files like libopengl32.a to the /opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc/lib Then he was able to link all the object files to build vlc.exe. Unfortunately, I am facing some unresolved ex...

During the final link command cimpiling vlc-0.8.6c with cegcc, some link options are not recognized by the compiler. Here are the errors I am stuck with : g++ -Wsign-compare -Wall -D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D__CEGCC__ -D_WIN32_WCE -DUNDER_CE -D_UNICODE -D__cplusplus -I/opt/cegcc/arm...

I have not finished to compile it yet, but as I said I decided not to include the types.h file and it goes through this... I can give you all the preprocessor definition I use to compile mine, it could help : Here are my environment settings : setenv CFLAGS "-D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -D__USE_W32_S...

Yep, I found what was needed : The wince_rc.rc file is a ressource file, and the command supposed to deal with that kind of file is windres. So I changed my environment settings as following : setenv CFLAGS "-D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D__CEGCC__ -D_WIN32_WCE -DUNDER_CE -D_UNICO...

Hi, Still trying to compile vlc-0.8.6c for WinCE with cegcc, I am facing this error : : -DUNDER_CE -D__MINGW32__ -I. -I. -i wince_rc.rc -o wince_rc.o rm -f libwince.a ar cru libwince.a libwince_a-wince.o libwince_a-interface.o libwince_a-dialogs.o libwince_a-menus.o libwince_a-open.o libwince_a-play...

There is something I do not understand. The function swprintf is used in the misc/modules.c file. There is a compiler switch UNDER_CE, which is defined in my compiling command. I cannot tell why this function does not cause any error in this case, whereas it does in /modules/gui/wince/open.cpp Does ...

Hi, I am trying to compile vlc-0.8.6c for WinCE using the cegcc compiler. I am facing this error in file open.cpp : g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -D_OFF_T_ -D_off_t=long -DSYS_MINGWCE -I../../../include `top_builddir="../../.." ../../../vlc-config --cxxflags builtin pic wince` -Ws...

Alright, a solution would be to use the extern "C" command : /* $Id: tcscpy.h 21683 2006-04-21 15:15:18Z peterw $ */ #include <tchar.h> extern "C"{ _TCHAR * _tcscpy(_TCHAR * to, const _TCHAR * from) { _TCHAR *save = to; for (; (*to = *from); ++from, ++to); return save; } } It com...

Hi, I am still trying to build VCL (0.8.6c) for WinCE with cegcc. I am facing this error I cannot solve... : In file included from dialogs.cpp:38: /opt/cegcc/lib/gcc/arm-wince-cegcc/4.1.0/../../../../arm-wince-cegcc/lib/../include/w32api/shlobj.h:1483:1: warning: this is the location of the previous...

I finally found out what had to be changed. To solve this error, just comment the line 14 of sys/_types.h file :
Thank you j-b

I think development of VLC for WinCE/Mobile has been stopped (j-b ?). But I have tryied to compile it for 2 months, and I am close to the end, I hope. So if I reach a good status on that, I will post how to do it. You can eventually find some binairies for Pocket PC on the ftp, but I cannot tell you...

Yeah unfortunatly it does not change anything...

Hi, I am trying to compile vlc-0.8.6c for WinCE under cegcc. I use this configuration : setenv CFLAGS "-D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D__CEGCC__ -D_WIN32_WCE -DUNDER_CE -I/opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc/include" setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

I managed to pass through these problems, I hope what I have done is right : First of all, to avoid the problem in sap.c, I added the preprocessor definition __USE_W32_SOCKETS to the compiling command. Then, I faced other errors : In file network.h, I took the definitions of the WIN_32 switch, as fo...

The problem is that even if I manage not to compile the stream_output plugin, I will have the same error compiling win32_specific.c It seems that the problem comes from the include of sys/types.h somewhere. And I think both headers (winsock[2].h and types.h) are necessary to compile those files. So ...

My configure is the one following : ./configure --host=arm-wince-pe --target=arm-wince-pe --build=i686-linux --prefix=/usr/local/wince --includedir=/opt/cegcc/arm-wince-cegcc/include --includedir=/home/giraulte/vlc-0.8.6c/include --disable-sdl --disable-gtk --disable-dvdnav --disable-dvdread --disab...

As I could not found where the definition was called twice, I have put the header winsock2.h at the beginning of the sap.c file. The previous error disapeared, but I have got a new one... gcc -mcpu=xscale -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D_OFF_T_ -D_off_t=long -DSYS_MINGWCE -I../include `top_builddir=&...

Just one question. How do I find which included header causes the redefinition ? I am quite sure that it comes from sys/types.h, but I cannot find in which file it is called...

Thanks !

Hi, I am trying to compile VLC for WinCE with cegcc. I have got all the libs and contrib and I read somewhere that cegcc was the appriopriate compiler to compile the 0.8.6c version of VLC. But this error occurs, and I cannot find how to solve it... gcc -mcpu=xscale -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D_OF...

Hi, I am close to succeed compiling VLC for Wince, but when I compile the vlc project on Embedded Visual C++, I still have got those two error messages : vlc.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ___wgetmainargs referenced in function _main libvlc.lib(unicode.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolv...

Up !

Sorry about that...
