Hi!

I'm trying to only build libvlc but can't really find any information how to do this.
I managed to build VLC for Ubuntu, successfully started the VLC Media Player.
Now I would like to only build the library file so I can use it for my own application.
I know that you can find it precompiled but I would like to compile my own.
The reason is because I would like to later on compile the library for other platforms as well.

How is this done?
Where to find information regarding this?

Thanks

There is ./configure --disable-vlc to not build VLC. But that's really not needed. As long as the library is built and installed, it's installed, for VLC and for other applications. In fact, you don't even need to build it, Ubuntu does that for you.

thanks. I will try that.
If I want to build the libvlc for QNX how do I specify to build using my QNX toolchain??

Do I somehow specify with a parameter to use another toolchain??

See a /usr/share/automake*/INSTALL file on generic cross-compilation instructions. I don't think a QNX build has been attempted in years, so you won't get much specific help here.

Can I only build libvlc in windows ?
I want to add function libvlc_video_take_snapshot_addr to lib
I tried to build all by using Win32CompileMSYS but it error
