The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,
I am trying to compile the source code 0.7.0 on windows environment (XP) and not abele to do so; can anyone give me the full instructions about how to make a project, and what needs to be added to the project so it will compile with no errors.

Thanks,

Regards
mayoo

Have a look at the INSTALL.win32 file in the source tree.

I am still having some problem compiling fully, the following are the errors...

CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE !!!!

THANKS
MAYA

Don't use MSVC, even though it kinda works for me with MSVC 7.0, you won't be able to compile a full-featured version of VLC with MSVC.

Use cygwin as detailed in the INSTALL.win32 file.

Thanks for the descriptive reply !

As a follow up, Here is the error I get:

Compiling...
ipv4.c
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\io.h(259) : error C2373: 'closesocket' : redefinition; different type modifiers
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\WinSock2.h(1660) : see declaration of 'closesocket'

All other plugins compile except this. And I am using standard VLC snapshot. Any help will be appreciated.

I posted the instruction of how to compile vlc 0.8.2 using cygwin in win xp
viewtopic.php?t=13480&highlight=compile+vlc

I think if you use visual C++ then there will be some limitations on some libraries that VLC is using. For more info, refer to the install.win32 file in your vlc folder.

Hope this helps

This thread really belongs in the Windows forum. That being said...

The binaries that are shipped are not Cygwin - they were made with MinGW. Cygwin is nice, but not practical for production purposes.

There are obviously automated scripts (the daily builds) used to build VLC in a MinGW environment. Are those scripts available anywhere?
