Visual Studio is not a recommended platform to build VLC. Not 6.0 nor 2005. The developers zill not be able to help you then.
Use MSys/MingW.

Thanks for you help!
I have already found the documents.Another question:
In the path of vlc ,I found so many .dll documents,eg:libvlc.dll,axvlc.dll and plugins file.So ,can I compile the activex and reduce the number of dll.It is best that the activex is compiled to one .dll document.

Regards.

HI Everyone

I install cygwin on my pc .I want to compile activex .
The source of activex has be put under the path :/home/administrator/activex .When enter the file ,I find an Makefile .Runing "make",it hints :

$ make
/bin/sh: ../vlc-config:No such file or directory
make:*** No rule to make target ' .. /configure.ac',needed by 'Makefile.in'.Stop.

Anyone helps me !
Could I need rewrite the "Makefile" or samething wrong during my installation of cygwin?
Pleseas ,give me some suggestions.


Thanks !

You need to compile all VLC, not only activex folder!

Hi all, I'm also trying to build a plugin using Visual Studio 2005 (@j-b: note the difference at it was mentioned before. I try to build a plugin - NOT the complete vlc).

I have some source code which works wonderfull with version 0.8.2.
In 0.8.6 the add_submodule() call fails with a null reference exception when my module is loaded. I looked at the sources from other modules that cames with 0.8.6 and nothing is different.

The cause of the exception is that this p_symbols member of the p_module parameter of the entry function is not set.

Is there something I'm doing wrong (except using Visual C++). Are there some special things to configure?

It does not make sense to me that the parameter is not filled correctly.

Sometimes ago somebofy posted the same problem, but no solution.

I think there'is difference in VS2005 with CRT DLL which are not the same.
For info, I can compile and it's work without problems on VS6 but not in VS2005. If you find solution, it would be a great day...

Thx

UNDER VS6
Hi I built my plugins (filters) with VS6. All is working very well.

UNDER VS2005
I try to open my dsw and dsp files with VS2005. The compile was OK but I have memory problems (crashes) in execution. I think but I'm not shure the problem is on CRT lib which are not the same with VS2005 :
VS6 : MSVCRT.DLL
VS2005 : MSVCRT8.DLL

I can send you by mail (give me your mail in private messsage) the VS6 dsp and dsw. Open it with VS2005 and try to change option such /MT /MD,.... If you have result, can you send me the sln and vcproject files back ?

Hi

Anyone as found a solution ?
My precedent post reffered to VLC 0.8.1 (plugin was built with VS6).
But now I'd like to switch to VLC 0.8.6b but my plugin doesn't building ith VS6...

I try to make a build with msys but I get on big vlc.exe file instead of a small vlc.exe and a libvlc.dll. I used option which are present in install.WIN2 file...

I'm happy for you.
Do you compile 0.8.6b ?
Do you obtain by linker an VLC.EXE and LIBVLC.DLL or just a DLL ?
Note in the setup of VLC there is dll and exe.
When I compile with msys I geted just on big VLC.exe....

Yeah,I compiled 0.8.6b.
But I got a axvlc.dll and .EXE only, not libvlc.dll.
Also,there was folder of plugins.

Besides,I got the same when I compiled 0.8.6a.
