Hello,
1/ who achieved to make vlc-0.7.2 work on Windows system ?
I am on XP, with C++ / VStudio.net.
Recompiling the src files throws an error (stdtoll function isn't found).
I replaced it by strtol function... It links okay, compiles okay and runs okay but...

=> Question 1 : is there some one who had the unlinkable 'strtoll' function problem ?

2/ Now, the RC interface (command line mode) isn't able to read MPEG 2...

It tells :
"
(...)
[00000068] ts input warning: TS module discarded (lost sync)
[00000068] ps input warning: this seems to be an elementary stream (ES module?),
but continuing
(...)
[00000068] main input: EOF reached
(...)
"
The file can be read OK by the VLC installed (msi installation)...

=> Question 2 : is my file corrupted ? Is it a bug ?

Thanx a lot for any help,
meo

Highly possible, strtoll() is not provided by the MS C runtime so it will create problems.

2/ Now, the RC interface (command line mode) isn't able to read MPEG 2...

If you read the INSTALL.win32 file, you'll realize that we don't recommend using MSVC to compile VLC as quite a few 3rd party libraries we use don't compile with it and you'll also not be able to compile all the assembly optimizations.
The INSTALL.win32 file recommends compiling VLC with a cygwin environment.

"(...) 3rd party (...) " :
=> Is ffmpeg one of the library you don't compile ?
Thanx for the advise...

3rd party means that we aren't the authors, it's just software that VLC uses.
