Hi all,

I've been trying to compile VLC for Windows using the wiki instructions [1] but I am getting the following error while performing make:

Code: Select all

...
In file included from ../../../extras/package/win32/../../../modules/access/dtv/bdagraph.cpp:34:0:
../../../extras/package/win32/../../../modules/access/dtv/bdagraph.hpp:29:20: fatal error: wtypes.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
...

I've checked [2] but it didn't solve my problem. I'm currently using the Mingw-w64 toolchain experimental version 3.0, as suggested in [3], so I'm specifying the host triplet i686-w64-mingw32 when needed. I also managed to compile the Linux binaries without any problem, so I guess the dependencies are correct. My OS is a Ubuntu 12.04 32 bits and wtypes.h is present on my system:

Code: Select all

$ locate wtypes.h
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/include/wtypes.h
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/wtypes.h

I've uploaded the config.log file to [4] (no option for attachments?), just in case it would be of any help. Is there any way to specify the location of the wtypes.h include dir to the compiler? Am I doing anything else wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Víctor.

Code: Select all

configure:6670: checking for i686-w64-mingw32-g++
configure:6700: result: no

This is an answer.

If your system has i686-w64-mingw32-g++, config.log looks like the following:

Code: Select all

configure:6680: checking for i686-w64-mingw32-g++
configure:6696: found /Users/nkoriyama/mingw/mingw-w64/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-g++
configure:6707: result: i686-w64-mingw32-g++
configure:6778: checking for C++ compiler version
configure:6787: i686-w64-mingw32-g++ --version >&5
i686-w64-mingw32-g++ (GCC) 4.7.1

Hi,

Yes, that was it. I couldn't see that among all the other stuff in the config log, shame on me. Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Víctor.
