Remove "Check for Updates..."

[oiz-workplace]

As can "Check for Updates..." under Help to be deactivated or faded out?

Best thanks for the assistance and answers.

[VLC_help]

If you remove update module completely, the option should also vanish.

[oiz-workplace]

Thank you for your help but can you please explain that a little bit more?

I searched for the Update module but didnt find it yet. It would be nice if you can tell me the module name which i can configure with the command line.

best regards

[VLC_help]

You have to compile QT4 interface without UPDATE_CHECK option.

There is now other way to do that in windows? Im not sure, how complicated it is, but a step by step guide to do that?

[VLC_help]

Compiling can be done via http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew or http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew
both ways are difficult ones.

when im trying to download a vlc version over the git, --> git clone http://git.videolan.org/git/vlc.git i allways get a error message --> failed connect to git.videolan.org:80; connection timed out while accessing http://git.videolan.org/git/vlc.git/info/refs. when im trying to add the proxy --> export http_proxy = <myproxy.net>:<8080> i get a other error message syntax error near unexpected token '8080'.

do you know what's the problem? maybe it's a misstake from my side..

[VLC_help]

Could you tell what proxy you are using?

[oiz-workplace]

hi, its a bluecoat hw firewall. but im trying to put the information to the git whit the syntax http_proxy, but get allways the error message.

[VLC_help]

I mean what value you put to the http_proxy.

[oiz-workplace]

export http_proxy = <http://proxy.stzh.ch>:<8080> or export http_proxy = <proxy.stzh.ch>:<8080> i allways get the same error message, **syntax error near unexpected token '8080'

[VLC_help]

No < or > there. So http_proxy = proxy.stzh.ch:8080

[oiz-workplace]

after i entered the proxy information whitout problems, i get a error message when trying to download vlc oder the git, errno=connection timed out --> fatal: unable to connect a socket. can i download a source from the videolan site? which one i have to use, and what to do whit it, extract in a folder? at the moment i install the cygwin program, create the folder like the gide one folder for cygwin c:\cygwin and one for vlc c:\vlc\downloads..

[VLC_help]

You can download VLC 1.1.0 source from ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/vlc/1.1.0/
Extracting it should be enough

[oiz-workplace]

hi, me again..

ok, i download and extract the source, and i found the qt4 in modules\gui\qt4.. xo could you explane if you want, what's the next step?? im whitout a plan, you told something about the compile the qt4 whitout update check option, but no idea how to do it.. when i remove two files, help.cpp and help.hpp, should this work to remove the whole help menu? when yes, how to make a installable package for windows whitout those files?

many thanks..

i take a look on the file modules.am in the qt4 folder... if i edit the file and remove whole entries regarding help dialogs, how can i make a installable package from the whole source?

[VLC_help]

http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCy ... d_packages

Code: Select all

make package-win32

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

--disable-update-check in configure.

[oiz-workplace]

--disable-update-check in configure.

many thanks for your replay, i found two entries in configure regarding enable_update_check and i set both to disable_update check. and now to finish, i need to have a exe file to install it.. but when i enter make package-win32 i get the follow message --> make: *** no rule to make target 'package-win32'. stop.

the last step to get it, what do i have to do?

thanks!

[VLC_help]

Does

Code: Select all

make package-win32-base-exe

work any better?

[oiz-workplace]

Does

Code: Select all

make package-win32-base-exe

work any better?

no, its the same, i get the same message.. but when i enter help, i receive all commands which are available, but make command is not listed. i will try to reinstall cygwin and report to you again.

[VLC_help]

make is installed if you get

make: *** no rule to make target 'package-win32'

that error.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

make package-win-base

[oiz-workplace]

make package-win-base

hi,

i told that i would try to reinstall cygwin, but until now i was not able to do that. when i download the setup.exe from the cygwin site and run it, in the mirror/download site i get allways a empty list. when i go to the site from cygwin and list the mirror site on the net, put some adresses manually in the mirror/downlad site from the cygwin setup, they told me everytime that a connection was not possible.

do you know something about that?

[VLC_help]

Cygwin.com has some issues with connection/server. It works sometimes.
