I'v been solving some issues and dependencies with libraries when compiling VLC2.2 for Windows on Ubuntu 14.01, but now I'm blocked with the next issue:

/home/alex/Work/vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libx265.a(param.cpp.obj): In function `ZN4x26512parseCpuNameEPKcRb':

I've looking for this strtok_r function, and I've tried to add string.h to the /include folder, but it hasn't worked...

I've been following all the steps showed in Win32Compile web.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

I have the same issue ...

Maybe someone have an idea, or a script to avoid this ?

thanks !

--disable-x265

well I'm getting new issues ...
I don't understand how you compile vlc for windows every night ...

thanks you anyway !

I follow https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/ instructions to do the compile, but failed in the same issue. I use Ubuntu140.04 to comile for windows 32bit VLC 2.2.1. Can anyone help ?

HI got the same error and it is related to mingw-w64: see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=755448
Solution is to use Ubuntu 15.04 there the problem is solved. you need package 3.2.0 of mingw-w64.
Hereby the match between the version of ubuntu and http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download.

My environment host VM is windows 8 machine and using vmware. Installed guest VM Ubuntu 15.04 desktop (ubuntu-15.04-desktop-i386.iso).
Then followed the page https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/. It complained one about 7z not being installed : sudo apt-get install p7zip-full.
Target make package-win32 made install package and could be installed on my host machine.
Hope this helps!

--disable-x265

Hi,

I get the same issue while compile the vlc-2.2.4 with vlc-contrib-i686-w64-mingw32-20160121.tar.bz2.
If I configure --disable-x264 library, I get other error.
/home/jb/vlc-2.2/contrib/mingw/gnutls/lib/verify-tofu.c254: more undefined references to 'strtok_r' follow.
The strtok_r function is called in libgnutls.a

Could you help me?

Regards,
Gwanyoung Kim.

You need to update mingw

I've done this on Ubuntu 14
sudo apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64-i686 g++-mingw-w64-i686 mingw-w64-tools
It tells that my mingw is up to date. I still get this "strtok_r" error. I get the same problem with mingw build on Windows 7.
