Hi,

Can any one tell me,

Where to find the vlc media player ported on windows OS?

Will that contain Vc++ workspace for any of the following code compose studio?

Microsoft Visual studio 6.0/ Microsoft visual studio 2005 / 2008 express edition.

The requirement is to compile the code and play the executable from my end.

Thanks,

Afaik you cannot compile VLC for Windows with MS Visual Studio. On Windows you can only compile VLC with Cygwin or MSYS. I think thats simply so because MS Visual Studio lacks certain functionality of certain unix tools.

The best building environment to build VLC for Windows is under Linux.

You can get the latest source code in the Git repository. Git is a version control system.
