Building plugins into VLC

Hi.

Is it possible to compile all the needed plugins into the VLC, rather then having a separate directory for them?

Regards.

Hi.

Thanks for the response.

How it's possible then to point VLC to the correct directory of the plugins? How it finds them?

Regards.

Actually, I found a method called "builtins" where you simply edit the vlc-config and move the required modules into the builtins specifier.

Any idea if this approach works on VLC, and what is the minimum required set of builtin modules (if I switch all to builtins)?

built-ins are broken.
You MUST have the plugins in .dll, but you can specify a modules-directory folder.
