Hi,

I'm compiling VLC in Visual Studio 2008.I only want to compile it in Visual Studios and play some common video file fomats by myself.I compiled the source code(vlc-0.8.6f.tar.bz2) downloded from the offical sites.I met a lot of errors.

Can anyone send me a full project of VLC in Visual Studios?

Thank you!

You can't compile VLC with Visual Studio. It would require some serious work and currently no one has wanted to do that.

that works if you want compile by yourself under Windows.

If you want to just use VLC video abilities in your program, use libvlc.

You're trying to compile a project that's loosely based on the Linux system .

You'll need to include a lot of libraries, includes and re-configure Visual Studio to use it as a suitable development environment in Windows. But, libVLC is the easiest library to use and manipulate file types in your project / program.

Thank you for you advice!But I only want a try to cimpile it in Visual Studios.

Yeah,VLC is loosely based on Linux system,and it's prossible to compile in Visual Studio.The official source code includes the msvc project.But when I open it and compile it ,I meet masses of errors.......

VLC doesn't compile with this compiler. Compile it in CYGWIN.
