Error while building vlc with wx2.8

[dbtsai]

When I use wx2.8 to build vlc, I encounter the following error message.

Any idea? Thanks

/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/image.h:136: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

If you are compiling vlc 0.8.6 or the latest svn checkout then compile it with wxwidgets 2.6.3 (downloadable from http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/#previous_stable ). Provide the path to the wxwidget directory by adding --with-wx-config-path=/path/to/your/wxWidgets-2.6.3 to the configure command. When using the latest svn checkout you even get an error message during the configure process when trying to use wxwidgets 2.8.

Hope this helps,

Well, I success compile vlc 0.8.6 with wx2.8 by applying the following patch.

Thanks, anyway.

Can you tell me, how to apply this patch ?

I tried something like

patch -p1 < THISpatch

in vlc source directory, but have this:

missing header for unified diff at line 1 of patch
can't find file to patch at input line 1
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
File to patch:

Looks like the patch is broken.

This one should work:

Code: Select all

--- vlc-0.8.6a.orig/modules/gui/wxwidgets/dialogs.cpp +++ vlc-0.8.6a/modules/gui/wxwidgets/dialogs.cpp @@ -380,7 +380,7 @@ { p_file_generic_dialog->SetMessage( wxU(p_arg->psz_title) ); p_file_generic_dialog->SetWildcard( wxU(p_arg->psz_extensions) ); - p_file_generic_dialog->SetStyle( (p_arg->b_save ? wxSAVE : wxOPEN) | + p_file_generic_dialog->SetWindowStyle( (p_arg->b_save ? wxSAVE : wxOPEN) | (p_arg->b_multiple ? wxMULTIPLE:0) ); }

But it might be simpler to change SetStyle to SetWindowStyle manually in modules/gui/wxwidgets/dialogs.cpp.

Finally works, Thank You very much !

that being said, i've some look-n-feel glitches with wxgtk28 builds.

some widgets are misplaced and/or missing and i have a segfault on exit.

so, i don't think that's a good idea to build vlc against wxgtk-2.8.

[dimstar]

the crash with wx 2.8 could actually be tracked down to an error of wxwidgets itself.

This patch for wx 2.8 solves such crashes:
http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWi ... view=patch

alternative, wxwidgets can also be compiled without fnome-vfs support, this should also help
