Win64 VLC using mingw-w64

[rubenvb]

Hi,

I would like to help as best I can in getting VLC to build for Windows x64 using the mingw-w64 toolchain. I have recently patched Qt 4.7 for better Win64 compatibility and it works (great) using mingw-w64. I am currently fighting VLC's build system, it can't seem to find my Qt libraries/headers (source install from git. Also any dependent library compiles will probably greatly help my effort. I understood from nightstrike that jb was trying this as well.

Thanks!

yes, and mostly everything is done, but ffmpeg has an issue with MMX calling on mingw64 which is THE blocker now.

Cool!

Some questions:
1) is there a source tree that has all the patches/prerequisites so I can test it myself?
2) is there any automated x64 builds available/planned?
3) Is the ffmpeg MMX problem ffmpeg's or mingw-w64's problem?

Thanks

1) normal git and you should rebuild your contribs
2) available no. planned, of course
3) ffmpeg

Awesome. Don't know when I'll have the time to dig through all prerequisites and sources though. This is great news indeed.

Yes, time is the limitation here.

Hi,

Does the 0.6 version of FFmpeg (released the 5th of june) correct this issue ?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

No.
