yey I finally successfully compiled vlc 1.0.0 (from git) along with vlc 0.9.4. don't ask why I did this :) installed nsis utility from sourceforge. and attempted to build installer. of course it did not work at the first trial. this time I can troubleshoot the failure. I think I got enough experienc...

hit an error with qt4.
somebody else got this before me at viewtopic.php?f=14&t=50360&start=15&st= ... ance_qjpeg

followed the advise to comment out a line in qt4.cpp (Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qjpeg))

build in progress

it was going well until I hit mkv related problem. I wanted to enable mkv support, so used --enable-mkv instead of --disable-mkv in my configure script and get this error g++ -mno-cygwin -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/lib/dllcrt2.o .libs/li bmkv_plug...

something unexpected occured. I am able to pass avcodec compilation :D next in the line is gui/qt4. I found in the forum that it can be resolved by downgrading w32api to 3.11. I downloaded w32api 3.11-1 release from a site mentioned in the thread http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=50...

I am back after a week of silence. my status -working on current version I updated today -contribs 2008-08-11 (after unsuccessfull attempt with 2008-10-06) -gcc : 3.4.4 -problems: modules\codec\avcodec throwing the same error posted earlier. I checked if those functions are available in libavcodec.a...

still no success. this time something to do with libavcodec.

I am going back to 0.8.6i. hoping better success this time.

I am also struggling with same issue.
I was getting the same problems with 0.9.4. after seeing this thread, I tried git version.

it failed with different reasons see thread
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=51305

still failures. git version failed with following error /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -mno-cygwin -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../. ./include -I../../include -I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml -DSYS_MINGW32 `top_builddir="../.." ../../vl...

I knew I saw very similar thing somewhere.

recommendation is to check what happens with git version.

I will try just that if git download cooperates.

I was able to move forward a bit. vlc : 0.9.4 contribs : 20081006 gcc: 3.4.4 failure I got this time /bin/sh ../../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -mno-cygwin -std=gnu99 `top_builddir="../../.." ../../../vlc-config --cflags plugin libavcodec_plugin.la` -mms-bitfields -Wall -Wextra -Wsi...

I re-tried following exact same steps from the document.

The only difference was that I used 0.9.3 instead of git release since git failed to download source. I did not attempt svn download.

result: same error in my first post.

now I am trying with 0.9.4 sources. I will post the outcome

yes I did.

I will start from beginning more carefully. Is 0.9.3 release good enough for plugin work on windows ?

Hello, I am new to vlc development. I downloaded v 0.9.3 source last week. My overall aim is to be able work on the browser plugins (both activex and mozilla). I was able to compile it fine on ubuntu. But things changed when I attempted to get windows build I failed miserably. Then I switched to cyg...
