Build issues on MinGW + MSYS

[_ole_]

While building the vlc player using MinGW + MSYS under Windows XP SP3, when running the make, I got the following error message:

Could anyone please advise?

--disable-dirac

[_ole_]

thanks for your help!

--disable-dirac worked (I had to take --enable-dirac from extras/package/win32/configure-common.sh as well),
also I had to modify $PATH to add
/usr/win32/bin

From what i can tell, it built successfully. but when I try to run it, it basically fails - hangs in the background though - and gives me the following:

$ sh vlc

make win32-package-base.

make win32-package-base.

oops, I forgot to say specifically that my goal is to run the VLC in debugger - and it is. According to the build instruction, if i make the win32-package-base, it will be unusable with the debugger
(http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile, at the bottom)
could you please help me to learn how to run it in debugging mode?
thank you

make win32-package-base-debug

[_ole_]

thanks, I just noticed that you guys have posted new contribs, I'll go get them and start again;

in the meantime - it says "...Once the compilation is done, you can either run VLC directly from the source tree or you can build self-contained VLC packages with the following make rules:..."
how to run it directly from the source tree??

thanks for the help, I appreciate your prompt responses

[VLC_help]

how to run it directly from the source tree??

AFAIK not possible, because plugins aren't on right place (they are on separate folders) and you can only specify one plugins folder on VLC startup.

I'm compiling 1.0.1 and I got the same problem, I've been looking where that enable-dirac option and can no longer find it from the latest source i've downloaded. Please Help. Thanks!

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

You NEED to run make package-win32-base once before running from source folder.

Hi
i have successfully compiled the vlc 1.2.0 source code on windows xp
but now when i am trying make package-win32-base command then it is showing an error

***no rule to make target 'make package-win32-base' .stop.

Don't do multipost, it won't help.

install git
also it's package-win-base I believe
