I hope this is a question that relates to vlc. I want to make use of an additional dll in the vlc source code. To link to a library you should add the -L/PATH/TO/LIB -lfoo. But maybe because vlc makes use of autotools I can't seem to figure out where to enter this information :| Could someone please...

Yes, thank you so much, I simply forgot to bootstrap... Feels like you're looking for your keys while they're in your hand... anyway, it's working

hmm, So in order to send the patch I installed it in Unix. I finally got that setup to crosscompile to win32, but now with the corrected code I get an error in this setup. Creating library file: .libs/libplaylist_plugin.dll.a .libs/libplaylist_plugin_la-playlist.o: In function `vlc_entry__1_2_0a': /...

After sending the patch to the mailing list, Jakob was so kind as to tell me I was using a depricated function being "input_item_AddSubItem". Thanks

ah, sorry...

I've resubmitted the patch and from what I can tell, only the 5 files that are changed are actually in the patch. I added them individually justto be sure.

Sorry for the delay, but I couldn't get it (sending a patch) to work on windows. I installed an Ubuntu machine and it (fortunately, I think) shows the same behaviour. I've send a patch to the vlc-devel list called "[PATCH] Added playlist demuxer called BITPLS.c.". I tried to read all the c...

Hi, I'm trying to add a playlist demuxer in the demux/playlist module. But after adding it, compiling it generates an error, being: playlist.c: In function `vlc_entry__1_1_0g': playlist.c:61: error: implicit declaration of function `change_internal' playlist.c:63: error: syntax error before "vl...

Yup, i figured out how to update it (just for future reference):

-download from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla ... 32.sdk.zip
-extract into /usr/win32/gecko-sdk
-make

est voila,all done

When trying to compile projects/mozilla I get the following error: vlcplugin.cpp:240: error: 'const struct _NPString' has no member named 'UTF8Characters' The code I'm trying to compile is a clone from git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git I'm running mingw/msys on win7. I asked a simular question on IRC a...

Hi, I'm trying to make a custom playlist that I can open in VLC. Sofar I gathered that I will need to add a file to the modules/demux/playlist dir. Probably one very simular to the pls demuxer. But I can't find where the code is that desides which demuxer(.c file) is used for each file. Or better ye...

In the wiki where there's a howto on compiling VLC for windows with MSYS (http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew) I think there's a typo on the line: mv /mingw/bin/g++-sjlj.exe /mingw/bin/c++.exe that should be mv /mingw/bin/c++-sjlj.exe /mingw/bin/c++.exe I tried to put it in the discussion p...

Some additional info -I assumed "mv /mingw/bin/g++-sjlj.exe /mingw/bin/c++.exe" was a typo and entered "mv /mingw/bin/c++-sjlj.exe /mingw/bin/c++.exe" -I got the source from [url]git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git[/url] -I got http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs/contrib-20091208-...
