Vlc 3.0.0 windows build - builds ok but can't package as no libvlc.dll.a

Postby deanwarrenuk » 26 Jul 2017 11:26

Following the instructions here wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile

I have had to jump through a few hoops, disable a few things, install lots of dependencies but eventually managed to get make from the vlc folder to complete without error.

However next when executing make package-win-common it fails when it cannot stat libvlc.dll.a just after it tried to execute the following

cd /usr/local/lib && cup -rev libvlc.dll.a "/home/ubuntu-dev/vocal/volcano-3.0.0-git/Adkins/lib/libvlc.lib"

And indeed in the /usr/local/lib folder they are new files e.g. Linux shared limbs but no libvlc.dll.a.

Have I not built the windows version? If so how to check and what might I have done wrong? Else what's going on?

Ok looks like I have made some mistakes...

I will revert VM and start again and report back.
- Where can I find the configure logs?
- What environment would you recommend - I am using Ubuntu server 16.04 and cross compiling using mingw?
