Hello I am trying to compile vlc for Windows CE but is having problem.
I am using the latest contributionpackage (from 2005) and vlc source version 8.4 (or any other version I get the same error with 8.3 and 8.5).
I am running the compilation on a ubuntu mahine and is using the crosscompiler created by the vlc-team.

When i am trying to compile the code error below occurs. What is wrong I cant say that i understand what I should do about the error message. Need help.

Ok I managed to solve that problem but now I have got a new one.

Hi,

Please, could you tell me how you solved the first error ? I've got the same

Thanks

Hmm Im trying to remember what it was I changed to make it work. I remember I disabled ffmpeg because some problem but i cant remember what problem it was.
Could you post your config file so I can take a look at it.

Actually, I found what was wrong too.

For others who might have the same problem, it is only a LD_LIBRARYPATH problem. You need to change this environment variable in order to put the folder in which your libraries are, usually /usr/local/wince/corss-tools/lib or /usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale/lib.

Now I also have a "undefined function" problem during the link. My error is :

Warning: .drectve `/DEFAULTLIB:"coredll.lib" /DEFAULTLIB:"corelibc.lib" ' unrecognized
Warning: .drectve `/DEFAULTLIB:"coredll.lib" /DEFAULTLIB:"corelibc.lib" ' unrecognized
Warning: .drectve `/DEFAULTLIB:"coredll.lib" /DEFAULTLIB:"corelibc.lib" ' unrecognized
./modules/misc/libfreetype.a(libfreetype_a-freetype.o):freetype.c:(.text+0x5f0): undefined reference to `GetWindowsDirectoryW'

But I already posted topic on the forum today.

Well, I hope we will be able to help each other

If you have any idea on my current problem I would be happy.
