How to compile on Windows using Cygwin

[itbe]

Is there a new version for 0.9.2/4?

[itbe]

Can somebody please help with this question

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Like all versions... It hasn't changed.

I found few issues running through the instructions:

1) Cygwin packages, expat is not under devel category
2)In Bootstrap section - modify AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION[0.17] with AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION[0.15]
3)I got this error in the ./bootstrap process:
+ rm -f po/Makevars.template ABOUT-NLS
+ echo
+ mv -f INSTALL.git INSTALL
+ patch -sfN -p1
./bootstrap: line 116: po/makefile-qt4.patch: No such file or directory

Is it OK or not?

[VLC_help]

If bootstrap stops to error message, it usually isn't finished. And yes, expat has moved to under Libs, I fixed this to wiki.
EDIT:
I just did git bootstrap and it works fine. No .po stuff in my log, only

Code: Select all

modules/gui/qt4/Modules.am:68: variable `res_DEPENDENCIES' is defined but no program or modules/gui/qt4/Modules.am:68: library has `res' as canonic name (possible typo)

Successfully bootstrapped should be the last line.

Did you tryed it with the latest Cygwin and source 0.9.4 and contrib-20080702-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz ?

Successfully bootstrapped

OK, I ran configure and got few errors:
1)configure: WARNING: not using the libs in extras/contrib as it is not the same host
2)configure: error: Your version of liveMedia is too old: you may get a more recent one from http://www.live555.com/liveMedia.

Is it OK to proceed or it is critical?

lternatively you can use --disable-live555 to disable the liveMedia plugin.

[VLC_help]

Your contribs are too old for liveMedia support. You can disable it, if you don't need it. Just change

Code: Select all

--enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \

to

Code: Select all

--disable--live555 \

and rerun configure

If you want to build it, use newer contribs
http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs ... ly.tar.bz2

[itbe]

OK, I used the newer contrib as was recomended and the configure finished. Now I am stuck at the make part, here are the last few lines:

If you want an answer to your question, just be specific and verbose. Don't PM.

[mtuncer]

I am also struggling with same issue.
I was getting the same problems with 0.9.4. after seeing this thread, I tried git version.

it failed with different reasons see thread
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=51305

Still need help with my problem

[VLC_help]

I only do git builds, so I don't know if those source tarballs have some issues.

/cygdrive/c/VLC/vlc-0.9.4/modules/codec/avcodec/avcodec.c:323: undefined reference to `_avcodec_close'

means that you have either too new or too old contribs, or the build file is somehow broken.

[itbe]

Now I am totaly confused, I followed your and J-B's instructions and came to a dead end. I took the source code as J-B recomended and the contrib as you recomended. can we somehow sync and have a flow that will bring me and all the others to a successful compilation.

[VLC_help]

Git and latest contribs. That is my suggestion.

[itbe]

What is the latest contribs?

[VLC_help]

that one. But I haven't tried that one yet. I am currently using the one before that.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Take the 0811 ones, except if you have faith.

[itbe]

J-B,

READ the DOCUMENTATION!

It is stated on the wiki.

[itbe]

Please give some respect, I followed the documentation step by step (and even showed VLC_HELP some errors that he fixed) and also followed your instructions and it is still failing. Can you show me what am I doing wrong or cant you???
