won't those be compiled for linux, not for win32? I tried to build the contribs, and had a variety of issues. the first was that nettle just would not download via ftp (fine in a browser in ftp and http, but not automated via curl). I fixed this by changing the reference to the http location. The se...

did this: cp /usr/include/idna.h vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/include/ cp /usr/include/idn_int.h vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/include/ now it compiles, but stops at link: i686-w64-mingw32-windres --include-dir ../../share --include-dir ../../extras/package/win32 -i libvlc_win32_rc.rc -o libvlc_win32...

yep, same issue here. only for me, the '../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32' did not work, but '../configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32' completed. i'm on 32 bit mythbuntu. Built for Linux fine, now testing build for windows. ../../src/text/url.c: At top level: ../../src/text/u...

I will help with 3d subtitle support.... I currently use Nvidea flicker, although soon will have a Sony 3D TV to play with.
Most 3D TVs will accept side by side compressed - this is the common broadcast format, and the original video is in this form. jgh - any progress?

maybe the bit I missed was 'make package-win32-base-debug'
then run gdb, and it find symbols. Now I have to work out how GDB works..
(P.S. GDB is already in the compiler/environment... but insight is not. Looking for one now, but may have to build it.)

git from last night (14th june, early hours) builds and runs using the compiler configuration and contribs in the zip. just install git and tortoisegit as described, create a new folder (e.g. c:/msys/1.0/home/vgit), right click in the folder and choose 'git clone', type git://git.videolan.org/vlc.gi...

I did, just I did not think about the format... created a 'compressed folder' then used 7zip to populate. LZMA would save me a lot of upload time!!!
Did anyone try it yet?

What I'd like next is instructions on how to use GDB with the compiled vlc... tried this in the past and got no-where.

looks OK in Direct3d.c;
Q: How do you see the output of:
fprintf( stderr, "Calling var_DelCallback for '%s' with the same "
"function but not the same data.", psz_name );
This should confirm where exactly it's coming from.

Using more than one monitor (two for me) and Direct3d video output (or 'default'), vlc-1.1.0-rc and vlc-1.1.0-rc3 debug version cause an assertion failed dialogue: 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library' dialogue box saying: Assertion failed! File: misc/variables.c Line: 965 Expression: 0 Example was...

Is anyone else getting a 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library' dialogue box saying: Assertion failed! File: misc/variables.c Line: 965 Expression: 0 First time I ran vlc, this did not happen, but today it happens every time on opening a file. (in variables.c, there is a #ifndef NDEBUG around the as...

image is up (this is mingw+msys+contribs+vlcsource ready to build): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GSDCNEEQ we've got 21 days to host it elsewhere. look at the text doc in the root of the zip for (brief) instructions. jb - i'll give the git another go once i've had a few good nights sleep ;) I'll star...

no, only on C:
needs >700mbytes free to build.
Agreed, this is not ideal, but it's more of a 'quick start'. We can't lose the mechanism to create this as it'll change every version.
I'll post a compiler tools only zip as well, to add vlc sources to, but it's still C based.

ed, subs may be placed right. They are marked a strange size (~2500x14xx). I'm about to look at the HD subs code again; but initially it looks to spec. Prior to 1.0, it did not support the HD spec - 0.8.6 just rendered pixel for pixel (so HD res subs worked). They broke after 0.8.6 because vlc start...

ok, built with 1.1.0rc3 have a single zip which contains everything pre-build (130mbytes), which just needs configure-msys and make. It works without installation, just unzip and go. not even username matters... I just tested on my main windows7 environment, and build was ok... just uploading now, w...

:) I put it in the previous wiki... a couple of days ago. Building is done; package made; vlc is running!!!! (with a gui, and everything!) So, confirmed by another party, the procedure works for building the 1.1.0rc, and again, a big thankyou for this thread. I did screw up in the procedure (missed ...

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.

Should have results late tonight.

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. Would it be possible that once a successful procedure has been found, that we duplicate the r...
