@Edwardw, I fixed the "issue" with the following commands wget "http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mingw-w64/mingw-w64-dev_3.0~svn5915-1_all.deb" sudo dpkg -i mingw-w64-dev_3.0~svn5915-1_all.deb sudo apt-get install mingw-w64-x86-64-dev After running the command: make pr...

Hi Edwardw,

Thanks for your reply, I don't fully understand what you mean by your remark, My goal is to get a working environment. Did you do it by all the manual work, or adding unstable repositories.

@Edwardw, I've tried to install this module by installing all packages via .deb and installing as well all packages that Debian complained about that were missing on installing the others But After being busy for 30 minutes the list of dependencies was only growing and I gave up. There must be a mor...

I managed to tackle the first issue by installing gcc

Well, new update. When I follow the Wiki I get the following error: :~/vlc-2.0.7/contrib/win32$ ../bootstrap --host=i686-w64-mingw32 Guessing build system... ../bootstrap: 1: ../bootstrap: cc: not found FAIL! When I try to install the 3.0 .deb I get error sudo dpkg -i mingw-w64-dev_3.0~svn5915-1_all...

@ Edwardw
Will try in a few minutes.

Tried the same today with Debian 7.0 (32 bits) Also problems arise here the output to the following command: sudo apt-get install gcc-mingw32 mingw32-binutils Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean ...

Hi there, 100.000% right amavlc. I spend also many days figuring out how to cross compile VLC for Windows without any luck. If somebody uses putty and enables the logging the necessary data should be easy to present. I will try to compile VLC myself and share this info online. From reading all post ...

@Ares19851110 Can you tell me on what platform and what release and what bit version you cross compiled VLC? I've tried already many variations on Ubuntu 12.04 srv LTS 32 bits without any luck at all. Also can you tell me how to compile a specific release like 2.0.5/2.0.6 for VLC, instead of the lat...

I'm still stuck on 1.1.11 too For me it's the AAC audio that is crappy under Windows in 2.0.3, command line didn't work in 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 and I have now my hopes set on 2.0.7. It seems audio is better and CLI works again under windows. I hope to compile a Windows version with another AAC version. U...

First of all, we need a machine to run the VLC server on. Here, it will be 192.168.0.2, an Ubuntu 8.04 machine with VLC 0.9.8a , ffmpeg SVN-r16245 (built from source) and x264 0.65.1057 (built from source). Is this serious, why do you use these old versions without any possibility to get serious su...

Hi there,

It would help if you provide some kind of logging. You could start VLC from the command line and start console. Than you can provide the logging to the experts. The more you give them, the easier it is to help you. Now it's looking for a needle in a haystack.

If you try to walk the mingw32 route you enter the following problem when you try to do this step: Debian/Ubuntu: run apt-get install gcc-mingw32 mingw32-binutils. Note that at least version 3.17 of Mingw32 is required, which Debian does not provide. You may obtain mingw32-runtime-3.17 here. The .de...

Hi There, I followed the Wiki here: http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile I wanted to compile Win32 version for Windows on Ubuntu srv 12.04 32bits via VMWare I'm using mingw-w64 I entered the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install lua5.1 libtool automake au...

Dear Jean-Baptiste Kempf,

Thank you for your answer.
So the sentence : '(you are NOT on Debian or Ubuntu)' don't apply to me.

Yours sincerely,

Albert

Hi there, I'm trying to compile latest VLC for my Windows 7 Home edition. I want to compile the 32bits version and I'm using VMWare with Ubuntu 12.04 srv 32 bits and Mingw-64 toolchain. I have found the following wiki: http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile So from that information I conclude I have ...

Although I rarely compile, and surely never write my own make files, I think the solution lies here.

I found the manual to built VLC on Windows. You have to do it on Linux., see http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile But what I don't see is parts to parts to built lame, x264, or parts like libfdk_aac like the example here: http://linuxsysconfig.com/2013/04/compile-latest-ffmpeg-and-vlc-on-centos-6/ ...

Yup, I would love to use Linux, unfortunately are not all capture cards equipped with Linux drivers :( It's still about the money. Well if I have some time I would give it a try, as I see to build VLC you need Linux and cross compile it. A sound improvement always is nice for a software product. You...

Hi there,

Is it possible to compile a version of VLC for windows with libfdk_aac and use this via command line?
I did it for FFMpeg in Linux with succes. Unfortunately I have to use VLC in Windows.
If so has anyone made an attempt?

Your sincerely,

Albert

Add to your command line. So no need to change it in the Gui

@Mahal, Thanks for the effort. Thanks to your help and Google you can do it in the command line, adding --sout-ffmpeg-strict=-2 So it will be: "C:\Users\test\software\VideoLAN\VLC-2.0.7\vlc.exe" -vvv "E:\test10-sec.mpg" --sout-ffmpeg-strict=-2 --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x...

@Jean-Baptiste Kemp,

Thx, do you mean I have to place this in the command line, and if so could you tell me where to place this in the command line. No matter where I place it, I get errors.

Yours sincerely,

Albert

Hi there, First I see that cli transcoding works again in VLC under Windows, makes me very happy :) But than I found out that mp4a doesn't work, it says VLC can't open encoder. It produces a file, but no audio. When you use 'mp3' I get video+audio (mp3). Used command: "C:\Users\jaap\software\Vi...

I have the the official version of 2.0.7. and the same issue here.
I will post it in the s-out section as that is the place as it should be.
