How to compile a filter already done.

[marcel.tella]

I have a problem, I've done an easy filter, to test how vlc plays videos with this filter, but, i don't know, what i have to do to compile this filter, and to include it for after write, for example, if the name of my filter is invert_kt


#vlc --video-filter invert_kt


Anyone knows how can i do?

Edit Modules.am and bootstrap again.

Hi! At first of all I wat to thank to jb, who help me a lot in my little progress.

Later, i need some more help. I've created a new filter. the name of this filter is cromakey
and is in the same path than other filtres as invert.c, and more video filters.


Well, I've read the hacking, but i'm not able to find the solution for my problem.

I've modified the file Modules.am with the following line:

SOURCES_cromakey = cromakey.c

and then, i've bootstrapped.

I've done that after do that changes:

./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install

to recompile all VLC again because I don't know how to compile only one filter. Is there one way to do that?


Thanks for all!

You need to use your own Makefile and use the 'vlc-plugin' pkg-config package. This assumes you've installed the libvlc development package.

[marcel.tella]

could you explain me a bit all the process?
It's very difficult for me to understand what are you saying.

thanks.

If you don't understand, then you should probably not even try.
