Anybody Successfully Compiled VLC for Windows Recently?

[DanBrwn]

I have had a lot of trouble trying to build this stuff. I have seen at least a couple of others having similar problems. Just wandering if anyone has been successful?

Apparently, the person making this post viewtopic.php?t=12493&highlight= has been able to compile recently. I will try to set up exactly as he and try again.

I did.. numerous times even..

here's the specs:

cygwin is the 3.3.3 versions.

source code package:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/snapshots/
vlc-snapshot-20050920.tar.gz

contrib package:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/
contrib-20050915-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.bz2

firing script:
./bootstrap && \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \

--enable-debug \

also..

firing script:

--with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
--disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
--enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
--enable-debug

so right now, I will test it with the very latest files I can get.

don't forget about using this:

Code: Select all

./toolbox --distclean

[zcot]

the "morning" script is from CygwinCompileEnvironmentRevB.pdf

Code: Select all

--disable-sdl

the "afternoon" script is from INSTALL.win32 with this correction:

Code: Select all

--with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin

[zcot]

the svn source from within 4 or 5 hours ago works also..

using the same latest contrib as mentioned above..

and the script suggestion from INSTALL.win32 now contains:

Code: Select all

--enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin

(so, now the CygwinCompileEnvironmentRevB.pdf file shows a good script example for use without sdl, and the current install.win32 files are now successfully using the sdl example script)

But like mentioned before, you could use the 0.8.2 source with the 0606 or 0624 contribs successfully(even enabling sdl if you want to)..

for any of these attempts you need the gc packages of 3.3.3 or 3.3.1(if you can find it) unless you are going to --disable-libebml while using 3.4.4
