Hi,

I'm trieing to cross-compile vlc 1.0.1 for win32 using the latest self compiled mingw (i586-mingw32) stable version, runtime version 3.15) toolchain.
Which version of the contribs is the once needed to build version 1.0.1 - or do i need to compile them all from source?

I use contrib-20070530-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2 from you ftp server

some how ./configure cannot find qt4 - do i need to pass the path as extra argument?

Code: Select all

configure: WARNING: Qt 4 library not found
configure: error: The skins2 module depends on a the Qt4 development package. Without it you won't be able to open any dialog box from the interface, which makes the skins2 interface rather useless. Install the Qt4 development package or alternatively you can also configure with: --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2.

when i use --disable-qt4 --disable skins2

Code: Select all

export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$CONTRIBS/lib/pkgconfig \
 CPPFLAGS="-I$CONTRIBS/include -I$CONTRIBS/include/ebml" CXXCPP=i586-mingw32-cpp \
 LDFLAGS=-L$CONTRIBS/lib \
 CC=i586-mingw32-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32-g++
 ./configure --host=i586-mingw32 --build=i386-linux \
     --disable-gtk \
     --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=$CONTRIBS/bin \
     --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \
     --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
     --with-wx-config-path=$CONTRIBS/bin \
     --with-freetype-config-path=$CONTRIBS/bin \
     --with-fribidi-config-path=$CONTRIBS/bin \
     --with-libgcrypt-prefix=$CONTRIBS \
     --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=$CONTRIBS/live.com \
     --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=$CONTRIBS/bin \
     --with-xml2-config-path=$CONTRIBS/bin \
     --with-dvdnav-config-path=$CONTRIBS/bin \
     --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
     --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
     --enable-debug --disable-swscale --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2

i get following compile error:

Thanks in advance for any help and the great piece of software you've built for us!

btw: building for linux works without any problems - what am i doing wrong?
This is my third day trying to build it

I use contrib-20070530-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2 from you ftp server

That's 2 year old !!

Hi,
I'm trying to cross-compile for Windows using Ubuntu 9.04
I followed the instructions from http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile
It says "FFmpeg now requires mingw32-runtime >= 3.15 and w32api >= 3.13 so these will have to be updated manually."

I'm new to linux and I'm not exactly sure how to do it.
Is it possible to just get the precompiled versions for both of them?
Else, can anyone tell me how to build it from source?
Regards,
Sujit
