I have xp pro sp3. I was the one who updated the wiki page, but that was the workaround I figured out. It does feel kinda kludgey. :-) OK, forget about it then :-) XP2 here, but I really don't understand where the difference is. I don't have any intl.dll in the path... The only one I find on my who...

Indeed, what is your OS ? FWIW, searching for "pkg-config intl.dll not found" on Google, it returns the Win32CompileMSYSNew wiki page, although neither the current version nor the one from Google cache make any reference to this so I guess it's lost somewhere in the page history (?)..., bu...

[...]I run into the same problem as you, that the time is displayed only with 1s accuracy. If you find a solution for this could you let me know? In addition I am very interested in your code to print the time on the videoframes. Hi, Matthijs, Unfortunately, I haven't had time to dig any further :-...

Hi, j-b, Thanks for the pointers. I looked at the 3 sources you referred to. The way I see it : src/input/var.c contains init code and declaration of the PositionCallback src/input/event.c contains the code called when an "event" happens (don't really know what the "event" is in ...

It's str_format_meta() you're probably looking for (src/text/strings.c). Hi, Rémi, and thanks for the answer. str_format_meta() is the place I already successfully modified to add the offset but it seems that the call : int64_t i_time = var_GetTime( p_input, "time" ); always returns a val...

Hi, all, [First, sorry if this is off-topic, it's a general VLC development question, not specifically linked to libVLC, but I have no idea where else to post it...] I intend to use VLC as a player in a professional video environment and, like many, I need a way to display the actual timecode embedd...

Again I understand that the build environment by it's nature is a moving target, but this would give us a known starting point to work from. Maybe you saw that J-B updated the wiki already to migrate to 1.1.0rc3, which fixes a few source issues. My build just finished OK with rc3 so it's OK. Vicne

I tried building rc3, keeping the same build environment, but the build fails with the following error make[5]: Entering directory `/home/Vincent/vlc-1.1.0-rc3/modules/gui/qt4' MOC main_interface.moc.cpp /bin/sh: moc: command not found So the wiki page is again not valid... Edit : I guess we should ...

will do. preparing my VM first; one thing of note is my VM username was 'Fred Bloggs', and VLC won't build if the username has a space if the VLC tree is in the user's msys folder. Well, there's a warning regarding this on the Wiki. You should create another Windows account such as Fred_Bloggs ... ...

TDM 4.4.1 may be superseded by TDM 4.5.0 but it is still available: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc ... e/download

Thanks.
Wiki link updated, forget about megaupload

Hi all, Firstly, thanks for the thread... very timely for my attempt to build VLC.. One of the issues with the whole compile thing is that by the time the wiki is written, downloads are out of date already. I couldn't agree more. Build depends on so many packages that finding the right combination ...

Just delete the old page content and put the new content in it. Done. My changes are now at http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew I backported the "vanilla MinGW + GCC 4 update" section as a "Note for the brave" (these notes are now indented to separate them more from the...

Wow, don't know what happened with the forums then the wiki this afternoon, but I could only read your messages now, and I just finished writing the procedure on the wiki... in a separate page :-( : http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNewNew @J-B, In my view, it's not a fork but more an "u...

If who.exe, whoami.exe and hostname.exe are extracted from the msys coreutils... Not so simple, because they lack dependancies. When launching configure (first use of hostname), I got a Windows pop-up saying (approximate translation) : This application could not start because msys-intl-8.dll was no...

It is a small issue with the current Contribs. That was an issue with an older contrib release. When first reading this, I thought there was a contradiction. My contribs would be both current and older ? :-) But you're right. I had downloaded the latest 4.4.4 contribs when first trying 10 days ago,...

Can you confirm marquee display works with the resulting VLC.exe ?

FWIW: it doesn't work on my build.

So there's something wrong in our build procedure too...

I'm going to setup an Ubuntu Virtualbox to see if the cross-compile way is easier...

Best regards,

Vicne

rm -rf /usr/win32/include/config.h It is a small issue with the current Contribs. OK, I removed config.h and compile went on, but now when it gets to the line : moc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../../include -I../../../include -I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 -DSYS_...

Starting it now... Hi, Michael, compile just failed :-( with the same message I had already observed without installing GCC 4.4.0 first : [...] Creating library file: .libs/libvorbis_plugin.dll.a In file included from C:/msys/1.0/win32/include/pthread.h:214, from x264.c:41: ERROR : C:/msys/1.0/win3...

If who.exe, whoami.exe and hostname.exe are extracted from the msys coreutils (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/coreutils/coreutils-5.97-3/coreutils-5.97-3-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.lzma/download) and installed in to the msys/bin directory then there would be no need to modify configure.a...

Using the latest binary contribs should be a prerequisite not an option. This would mean the 'gecko sdk' update can be skipped. My newbie experience is that this build is a complex process, and if it doesn't work, the more choices you were given, the more you wonder what you've done wrong, so I'd r...

Great ! The simpler, the better. I'm going to try that procedure right away. Can you confirm marquee display works with the resulting VLC.exe ? (I mean Tools > Preferences (show settings=All at bottom left) > expand Video > click Subtitles/OSD > Check "Marquee display" checkbox > Expand Su...

Mmmh, I just noticed that the build doesn't seem to be OK.
The marquee plugin seemingly does not display anything.

Any idea what the cause could be ?

Vicne

Yes, I did it. As discussed previously, I did a "dual GCC" install tonight and it worked first time, without any error. So here's a new version of the "checklist", which is basically a shuffle around of gnosygnu's steps. I classified the steps in 4 sections : Environment, Precomp...

gcc on mingw is a mess... Because they use sometimes -dw2 sometimes -sjlj. I never know which one to take.

I see. In any case, installing both works ...

4 build bug, I have no idea what you are talking about. I was referring to the 4 points mentioned at the beginning of the post, (missing windows interface.h etc) Basically, we have 3 runs of "make" here (the 4th shouldn't be needed if Gecko update is performed before compiling, right ?) ....
