I complied the source of vlc-0.9.8a under the instruction of "Win32CompileCygwinNew"http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew.
After making package-win32-base, I got the vlc-0.9.8a folder with out "plugins","skins","http","osdmenu" subfolder and vlc.exe.manifest file what I used to got when compiling vlc-0.9.0.

vlc.exe can't pop it's window up when double clicked or called under command line. But the vlc.exe process was listed in TaskManager after that. I can just end the process by kill it in TaskManager.

Please help me~. I have been botherd with this problem for several days...
Thank you

These are the files and folders I got after making package-win32-base.

AUTHORS.txt NEWS.txt activex locale
COPYING.txt README.txt libvlc.dll vlc.exe
MAINTAINERS.txt THANKS.txt libvlccore.dll vlc48x48.ico

Don't you have a plugin folder?

Don't you have a plugin folder?

The folder "plugins" was not there after "make package-win32-base"

I used to compile vlc-0.9.0 one year ago. I got the "skins","plugins","osdmenu","share","http","http-lua" sub folder at that time. But I can't compile them out anymore using 0.9.8a source code now ...

for more infomation, these are the warnings I got when run ./configure-vlc.sh

$ ./configure-vlc.sh
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-gtk, --with-wx-config-path,
--with-freetype-config-path, --with-fribidi-config-path

Don't run configure-vlc.sh...

Don't run configure-vlc.sh...

oh. Should I write and run my own .sh configure file in the format like this

Code: Select all

./configure \
     --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
     --disable-avcodec \
     --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx \
     --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
     --enable-debug  --enable-dca \
     --disable-mkv --disable-taglib \
     --disable-optimizations \
     --disable-zvbi \
     --disable-mad \
     --enable-qt4 \
     --disable-dvdread \
     --disable-avformat

to disable some module I don't want to use to save some time in compiling source code?

You can use configure-vlc.sh. Did you get any errors during make?

Hi

I complied the source of vlc-0.9.8a under the instruction of "Win32CompileCygwinNew"http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew.
vlc.exe can't pop it's window up when double clicked or called under command line. But the vlc.exe process was listed in TaskManager after that. I can just end the process by kill it in TaskManager.

I have this problem exactly. And when I double click on vlc.exe's graphical icon, a message box will open and says that you don't have libvlc.dll which is needed. I have searched my hard disk and found it in the following path:

Code: Select all

C:\vlc\vlc\src\.libs

I don't know where to put it?!
please help me.

make package-win32-base doesn't work correctly or the make has some issue if the libvlc.dll isn't in vlc-0.9... something folder after make package-win32-base.
