Getting 'Command line interface Initialized'

Postby siva_kumaran » 28 May 2015 00:08

Hello all,

I had compiled and built vlc successfully for windows as per the below instructions:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYS/

I used 'make package-win32-zip ' command to generate the vlc win32 zip file.
The generated vlc.exe working well in my PC(windows 8.1)
But after build when i tried opening the same vlc.exe(32-bit) in another PC(windows 7_64-bit), I am getting Command Interface mode instead of GUI form.
Command Line Interface initialized. Type 'help' for help
During configuration i used below command:
sh ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --disable-nls --disable-upnp.

why i am not getting gui form when i open the exe ????

how should i enable gui manually in the PCs where i get 'command line interface mode' ???

please help.....


NOTE: checked the same vlc.exe in 4 PCs with windows 7 64-bit installed but worked with GUI mode in only one PC.

Problem Solved:

(PCs were vlc gui is not opening)
installed msys32, added 'bin' folder to the environment variables.
It worked.(though its not the exact way,but its solves the issue now).

I am sure you meant to be helpful, but what you typed is not understandable. For those of experiencing the same problem, hoping to find an answer, this is a letdown: That you found a fix, but glossed over the steps to achieve it.....
