windows phone developer questions?

[Jason_X_]

I noticed there isn't any windows phone nightly builds on http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/ is there a reason why the buildbot can't make these builds?

Looking at https://wiki.videolan.org/Compile_VLC/ leads to https://wiki.videolan.org/WinRTCompile/
Trying to compile it, the first issue is, apparently VS 2013 isn't supported fully, since one of the projects requires 2015. Is there any reason for this?
The error is

Code: Select all

..\universal\VLC_WinRT.Universal\VLC_WinRT.Universal.csproj: The project 'VLC_WinRT.Universal.csproj' was created with a newer version of Visual Studio which is incompatible with your version. You can only open this project with newer versions of Visual Studio.

After ignoring that for now, and trying to compile, it spits out

Code: Select all

winrt\universal\VLC_WinRT.BackgroundAudioPlayer\VLC_WinRT.BackgroundAudioPlayer.csproj(114,5): error : This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer.

There is no mention of a dependency on the wiki page for this?

ignoring that...

First, why the missing source files? and then, it seems the issue here is, the paths it is looking is wrong, and yes, vlc-Win32.7z was un7zipped to the vlc/ directory as was mentioned on the wiki

Extract the contents of vlc.7z and copy the contents to vlc folder of winrt source code

That directory now contains:

So, the question here is, why aren't the paths setup correctly, so you don't have to copy everything out of the include & plugins directory into the base directory, and instead, have VS look in the correct paths for this?

I've got exactly the same problem. Nothing was fixed in a 2 months

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Please read the documentation.

[coolbix]

I've tried both VS2013 and VS2015, but failed to build.
I followed the "document" (README) in the project.

Could you, dear developer, please tell me the exact build environments where you are successful, such as
- Windows 8.1 or Windows 10
- VS 2013 or VS 2015
- vlc hash
- libvlcpp hash
* The prebuilt vlc on http://people.videolan.org/~jb/WinRT is old and does not match for the latest libvlcpp.

[Sulfred]

I am using VS2015, following https://wiki.videolan.org/WinRTCompile/.
But I cannot compile the project.

I open the winrt\app\VLC_WINRT.sln and I build it. I have the same situation with Jason_X_ .

Can anyone help?
or can you provide a version that can directly compile once after download from git?

[Jason_X_]

Please read the documentation.

More like the documentation must be updated, since, 'as is', it does NOT work, as outlined above.
And since nobody can compile it except the lone dev(?) then, it is pretty much impossible to help out with the project.
There have been 0 updates, and the current version is extremely buggy.

Come on IRC, if you want to help.
