The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,

I am trying to compile VLC using msys/mingW environment. BUt i am stuck while setting the bootstrap. when i execute bootstrap it showing an error libglib-2.0.0.dll not found . I have followed all the steps mentioned in http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYS. I have tried mutiple times still the same.

Please can some one guide me in right direction.




Best Regard,
Jay

On my machine, the full path of libglib-2.0-0.dll is C:\msys\1.0\bin\libglib-2.0-0.dll. When I go to Properties -> Version tab, the version is 2.18.2.0 (I haven't updated for a few months)
I would check to see if you have a file in the same location.

Otherwise, please post full output from the error as it may be helpful.

Hope this helps.

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply.I dont find any libglib-2.0-0.dll is C:\msys\1.0\bin\libglib-2.0-0.dll.

cd vlc
cp -v /usr/win32/share/aclocal/* m4/
cp -v /usr/share/aclocal/* m4/
PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH ./bootstrap -- When i pass this command it gives error in dialog box Pk.config.exe unable to locate component
The application failed to start because libglib-2.0-0.dll. was not found re-installing the application may fix the problem.

I tried reinstalling too,but no use.End up with same issue.

I downloaded required dll's and copied manually to bin directory of msys. after that came across different issue . Entry point not found.
error is the procedure enttry point g_assertion_message could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0.0.dll

So, do you now have a file at C:\msys\1.0\bin\libglib-2.0-0.dll? If so, which version?

For the record, I've not received the g_assertion_message error above. Offhand it sounds like you're still missing files, or the files are in the wrong location.
