Problem cross compiling VLC win32 due to wrl/client.h requirement
Posted: 09 Feb 2017 07:42
Hello,
I'm following the cross compile tutorial for cross compiling VLC for Windows via Linux/Mingw-W64.
https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/
I have the latest source code for VLC 3.0 obtain via git clone (git clone http://git.videolan.org/git/vlc.git vlc).
I managed to compile all the third party libs and configured the main build successfully with no errors. I'm running into a snag when I run make. There are three cpp files that require wrl/client.h which after some research I found was bundled in Mingw-W64 up till version 4.x but was discontinued in version 5.x and 6.x (I'm on version 6).
The files that require wrl are:
vlc/contrib/win32/qt/src/3rdparty/angle/src/common/tls.cpp
vlc/modules/access/dshow/access.h
vlc/modules/text_renderer/freetype/fonts/dwrite.cpp
I've tried downloading the latest wrl headers from the mingw-w64 svn but they are incompatible and causing synthax errors. Anyone has any idea how I can get passed this? Has wrl/client.h been replaced by another header that I can substitute into these files?
