Problem is those modules are written in C++, whereas my module is written in C but links to a C++ library. So i need to use g++ but i have no idea how to program that in configure.ac ...
Does anyone know of any other modules that are written in C but link to C++ libraries?
Thanks for the help

Think I might have found the problem. The library is written in cpp not c, I tried writing a short test program and it would only comile if I used g++ not gcc. So I think the problem is that I'm linking to a cpp library... Any ideas on how to change configure.ac so that the module can be linked to a...

Ok, tried that, when it was making it said failed to find library -lmcl....
I had added --with-mcl-path=/path/to/lib/ to configure...
I tried the same but specified the path to the lib explicitly and it compiled fine but then vlc would not load the modules...

OK, I'm almost there (I hope!) but struggling for the autoconf syntax... At the moment I'm just trying to get the library linked, not worried about checking things. The library I'm using isn't installed on the system (for instance in /lib/), so I'm going to have to specifcy the path explicitly. So I...

OK. I have managed to get it automatically compiled. However VLC does not show it as an access_output module. Someone on IRC thinks it could be a linker problem which would make sense. However I have no idea how to fix this except that i need to add something into configure.ac. I am only using one e...

I tried that already, I think maybe the module is not getting compiled in (I'm running a make myplugin.so in the access_output directory). How do arrange for it to get automatically compiled and builtin to vlc? I'm implementing a reliable multicast library. At the moment I've just copied the udp acc...

I have written a new access_output module and am trying to test it. How do I go about getting vlc to load it so i can call it from the command line. It compiles and is in the modules/access_output directory.
Thanks for any help

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to hack vlc so that it will stream more than one file at once? I am writing my own access_output module....
Cheers
