I need help compiling for Win7 64 bit on Ubuntu 14.04

[Geoclasm]

I've followed the steps listed here. I've made it all the way to MAKE for compiling but then I get this:

Code: Select all

/home/william/git/vlc/contrib/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libx265.a(param.cpp.obj): In function `x265::parseCpuName(char const*, bool&)': /home/buildslave/vlc-contrib-win64-x86_64/build/contrib/win/x265/source/common/param.cpp:775: undefined reference to `strtok_r' /home/william/git/vlc/contrib/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libx265.a(param.cpp.obj): In function `x265::parseLambdaFile(x265_param*)': /home/buildslave/vlc-contrib-win64-x86_64/build/contrib/win/x265/source/common/param.cpp:1332: undefined reference to `strtok_r' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [libx265_plugin.la] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/william/git/vlc/win32/modules' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/william/git/vlc/win32/modules' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/william/git/vlc/win32/modules' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/william/git/vlc/win32' make: *** [all] Error 2

Anyway, the thing that has me hung up is this step:

Code: Select all

Host triplet A number of example commands below include the identifier of the toolchain. This value is essential: it instructs the build system to use the correct toolchain and compile the program for Windows. Without the value, the build system will perform a native compilation for Linux (or whatever your computer runs). With an incorrect value, the build will fail. This is known as the host triplet, although it's more of a pair than a triplet in the case of Mingw. The exact value depends on your installation of the toolchain. Notably on Debian/Ubuntu, these values must be used: i686-w64-mingw32 for Windows 32-bits, using the Mingw-w64 toolchain x86_64-w64-mingw32 for Windows 64-bits, using the Mingw-w64 toolchain i586-mingw32msvc for Windows 32-bits, using the Mingw32 toolchain

I assume for me (being Win7 64 bit) I would be using the x86_64-w64-mingw32.

Anyway that is the value I used for:

Code: Select all

Before compiling VLC, you need lots of other libraries. Here is how to get them: $ mkdir -p contrib/win32 $ cd contrib/win32 $ ../bootstrap --host=i686-w64-mingw32 $ make prebuilt

Code: Select all

$ rm -f ../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/moc ../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/uic ../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/rcc

and

Code: Select all

$ export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR={your_root_path}/vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig

And then I get to THIS step:

Code: Select all

Use the standard configuration: $ ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32

where it says THIS

Code: Select all

NB: use YOUR Xcompiling prefix here, like i486-mingw32

WHAT does that mean?
How do I know what MY Xcompiling prefix here is?
How do I find that out?
Was I mistaken with x86_64-etc?
If not, then why do I keep running into this stupid error?

Please help
