Compile using MSYS issue/configure does not find librarys

[Wojtek_user]

Hi,

I have a problem with compile my own vlc on windows. i am newbie in that topic so i followed the istuctions on vlc wiki https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYS/

Due the issue i needed to update m4 lib, becuase mingw said that i have too old version, i dont know maybe that is the problem ? i downloaded m4 for here http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/ ... YS.tar.bz2


Anyway, i followed all the instuction on wiki and after the bootstrap in root folder i try to configure my compilation with command

Code: Select all

sh ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --disable-nls

However this command returns some errors in loading custom libraries like:mad faad a52 and especially libgcrypt like :

Code: Select all

checking for NeAACDecOpen in -lfaad... no configure: error: Cannot find libfaad library...

Guided by https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileM ... eShooting/ i tried to add path to contrib folder so my commands looked like that:

Code: Select all

sh ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --with-contrib=/home/<username>/vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/ --disable-nls

but it hasn't changed anything. From config log i am sure that the files are in good place, i can find them there. inside i've got a message for missing libs

Code: Select all

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.6.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: skipping incompatible C:/MinGW/MSys/home/<username>/vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libfaad.a when searching for -lfaad

I can disable them but disabling libgcrypt causes an error which says that program could not be updated without it.

I tried to update mingw, download the newest version of vlc (solution is for 2.1.x) but nothing solved the problem.

Any idea how to solve it?

thx in advance

i686 and x86_64 are not the same thing. One is 32bits the other is 64bits.

[Wojtek_user]

so here is a problem

so i will try on os with 32 bit architecture

thanks Jean-Baptiste

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

You can install mingw-w64 in 32bits mode on Windows 64bits.

[Wojtek_user]

heh maybe i can but have no idea how

anyway one more time many thanks

[Wojtek_user]

ok, so i manage to install mingw with 32 compiler(http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/ 4.8 version has it as option ) , additionaly i needed to istall lua.

after that there are some new libs that compiler can't find like dvd read or shout. i can live without them but i can't without AVCODEC and the sh command show me massage:

Code: Select all

sh ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --disable-nls --with-contrib=/home/<username>/vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/ --disable-dvdread --disable-shout

Code: Select all

checking for AVCODEC... no configure: error: . Pass --disable-avcodec to ignore this error.

there is no info about it in config.log and avcodec for 100% is there. Any more solutions?
