Is it possible to cross-compile only one module?

great. How to do it?

The same way you compile a normal out-of-tree module, but using your cross-compiler instead of gcc

So, according to OutOfTreeCompile instruction, I've prepared linux Makefile.
But I've got .so only after changes in code: there were problem with "static_assert()" , "N_" and "_" macros'es definition.

Question1: how to build .so without this code changes?

After that I've cloned Makefile and modified next lines:
LD = /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld
CC = /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
PKG_CONFIG = /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-config

and stuck with error:

Code: Select all

vlc/modules/demux$ make -f makefile_mp4_w
Package vlc-plugin was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `vlc-plugin.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'vlc-plugin' found
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

Question2.1: how to modify makefile for windows-build ?
Question2.2: taking in account absence of compiled dependencies (libvlccore.dll) ?

UPD:
I've built .so with one change in code

Code: Select all

undefined reference to `__assert_fail'
undefined reference to `strndup'
undefined reference to `__snprintf_chk'

So, the question now is - how to solve this undefined references ?

Hi, you should look at the command line done by the build.sh, iirc you can set the environment variable V=1 or VERBOSE=1 or maybe SILENT= or use "make -n" to check what is executed

yep, i found that vlc has own realization of some functions (including necessary compat/strndup compat/strcasestr)
but where to get __assert_fail, __snprintf_chk ?

Posted: **25 Apr 2019 17:50**

Those two functions are provided by the CRT.

Posted: **25 Apr 2019 18:04**

which library should i link?
I've tried /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wine/fakedlls/crtdll.dll and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wine/fakedlls/msvcrt40.dll
- there were many undefined reference errors, but working instance dll was compiled.
