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

Best thanks for the assistance and answers.

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

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

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?

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..

Could you tell what proxy you are using?

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.

I mean what value you put to the http_proxy.

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'

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

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..

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

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?

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

--disable-update-check in configure.

--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!

Does work any better?

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.

make is installed if you get

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

that error.

make package-win-base

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?

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