Vlc Win32 compiling

[draba]

Hi,
it's days I try to compile Vlc for windows:
I get every possible error!
here is the last one:
method: cross-compiling under linux
compiler: mingw 3.4.5
vlc: 0.8.6h
contrib: contrib-20070530-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only
configuration:

Code: Select all

./bootstrap && \ PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH \ PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \ CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ \ ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux \ --disable-gtk \ --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \ --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \ --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \ --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \ --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \ --enable-debug \ --with-libdca-path=/usr/win32 --enable-dca

after starting compilation I get the error:

even if the configuration should contain the path for libdca...

Actually I tried to compile the 0.8.6g, 0.8.6h, 0.8.6i, 0.9.0, 0.9.1, 0.9.2
crosscompiling under Linux, compiling under Cigwin, trying different configurations
and different contrib packages and I always get a different error.
Since the activex plugin of the 0.9.x is not working I need to compile a 0.8.6x...
Is there any special way for succeeding in this complex task? (please don't tell me to
read INSTALL.win32 or the wiki Win32Compile )

Thanks in advance.

dca points to DTS support. If you don't need it, just disable it.

Thanks!
after disabling dts I had to recompile ffmpeg with postprocess eneabled and finally compiled!
I think the configure script has to be performed a bit (at least for cross-compilation).
Anyway... thanks for the help... Vlc is a good and flexible media player!
