VLC 2.1.0 OSX 32-bit

Postby dflem » 21 Oct 2013 23:08

I'm in need of VLC 2.1.0 compiled for 32-bit. I can only find 64-bit. Has anyone compiled for 32-bit?

Thanks!

David

Sorry, we do not support 32-Bit builds anymore with the VLC 2.1.0 deskop application. Almost all Macs also running Snow Leopard or later are capable of running the 64 Bit version.

Thanks for the response. I'm aware of that. I'm embedding a VLC player in an app I'm developing using Xojo. Xojo does not yet support 64-bit. So I was hoping that someone had compiled the VLC 2.1.0 libraries for 32-bit. I tried (for several days) to compile the libraries myself, but could not successfully compile the source using Xcode 5. Is it possible to compile the 2.1.0 libraries for 32-bit OSX? Has anyone successfully done this?

Tnx,

David

IIRC only the mac interface module needs to be compiled for 64 Bit. As you do not need this module if you are compiling for another application, compiling for 32 Bit should work.

Feel free to describe your compile problems with logs here, maybe I am able to help you.

Nowadays Xojo supports 64bit, in both debugmode as in a build app. Have you been able to get your app running yet?
I have been playing around with ffmpeg in a shell. But I want to try the VLC libraries. Are you using Declares?
