I am new to vlc development. I downloaded v 0.9.3 source last week.
My overall aim is to be able work on the browser plugins (both activex and mozilla).
I was able to compile it fine on ubuntu. But things changed when I attempted to get windows build I failed miserably.
Then I switched to cygwin. After spending hours on missing libs finally I was able resolve missing library errors with the latest contrib distribution.
I got the following script from INSTALL.win32 file. I removed few lines since configure tool did not like --host definition and CC, CXX definitions.
Code: Select all
CONTRIB_TREE=/usr/win32
PATH=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin:$PATH \
./bootstrap && \
CPPFLAGS="-I${CONTRIB_TREE}/include -I${CONTRIB_TREE}/include/ebml" \
LDFLAGS=-L${CONTRIB_TREE}/lib \
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=${CONTRIB_TREE}/lib/pkgconfig \
./configure \

log file is attached. I didnot get much out of "X-I....." stuff.

my contrib file is "contrib-20081006-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2"
gcc version is 3.4.4. mingw stuff is installed.
Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong here ?
Also I read there were playback problems in v0.9.2 in browser plugins. Can you recommend "workable" release for this purpose ?
