VLC 0.9.2 compiling problem: problem with qt4

[Boo025]

How do you go about compiling the code using gcc4 instead of gcc3?

[concheng]

the problem is cygwin doesn't have gcc4.....and I don't know how to install gcc4 on cygwin....I ran the compile again...and still run into the same error like following

/libqt4_plugin_la-dialogs_provider.o
In file included from dialogs_provider.cpp:44:
dialogs/preferences.hpp:82: error: expected unqualified-id before "char"

I tried to comment all the QRadioButton related code, and then it can compile and build with no error, but the executable won't work.....
Please! VLC_help!! can you describe to me exactly how your procedure work? How your cygwin configure? and what windows edition you used?
in order to run this code, I even have my window xp home edition reinstalled to eliminate any software conflict problem...like antivir software and some web develop tool.....

[Boo025]

I'm just about out of idea.

[Boo025]

By any chance are you (VLC_help) compiling under the linux environment and not cygwin?

[concheng]

my current problem is that apparently the QRadioButton declaration on both preferences.cpp and preferences.hpp can't be found. it do have #include <QRadioButton> in preferences.cpp but somehow vlc or qt4 can't see each other in this particular case.....I don't know how to solve this...anybody know how this problem happen? i am not expert on C++, maybe something I miss

[concheng]

by the way, the problem danish22 has is already be mentioned by me at begin of this post and a possible solution is that (at least it worked for me)
on qatomic_windows.h line 392...modify the code into following

#if defined(Q_CC_GNU)
#include <windows.h>
#endif
#ifndef __INTERLOCKED_DECLARED

extern "C" {
__declspec(dllimport) long __stdcall InterlockedCompareExchange(long *, long, long);
__declspec(dllimport) long __stdcall InterlockedIncrement(long *);
__declspec(dllimport) long __stdcall InterlockedDecrement(long *);
__declspec(dllimport) long __stdcall InterlockedExchange(long *, long);
__declspec(dllimport) long __stdcall InterlockedExchangeAdd(long *, long);
}

#endif /* __INTERLOCKED_DECLARED */

hope your compilation will work.....O.O

[Boo025]

Strange, I've actually tried the #ifndef and it produced same error...

[concheng]

dude, I think you forgot to put following code


#if defined(Q_CC_GNU)
#include <windows.h>
#endif

before the #ifndef

[danish22]

vlc_help, Can you please provide the compiled binary for the qt4 module. I don't have to change any file in qt4 folder so objs and archives file should do. Actually there should be some repository for pre-built archives for all modules. One could have proceeded ahead while this problem is resolved.

[VLC_help]

Ones from nightlies should work if you need pre compiled plugins.

And I compile with http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew with that using Win32 because I don't have Linux machines around. I will try build today to see, If there are some issues somewhere.

And I used qt4-4.4.1-win32-bin.tar.bz2, it should have md5sum of 063496054405c654fbb2208a1ee9da9a *qatomic_windows.h

EDIT:
It seems latest git.exe works again from Cygwin shell.

EDIT2:
I got it now also, the InterlockedCompareExchange (I don't know why this didn't happen on my other machine, maybe my winbase.h is different, I have to check this out on weekend).
http://www.nabble.com/Problem-compile-Q ... 92075.html
according to that, it is Qt problem. I reported this issue to Qt, hopefully it will be fixed.

[Boo025]

I searched for qt4-4.4.1-win32-bin.tar.bz2 but didn't find anything.

[Boo025]

Can you post your configure-vlc.sh?

Edit:
To VLC_help

I managed to get the same md5sum file of qatomic_windows.h (it was from qt-win-opensource-src-4.4.1 not qt4-4.4.1-win32-bin.tar.bz2), and followed your instruction by copying lib and include folder from the Qt package to the /usr/win32 folder.

However, all it did was produce bunch of (linking?) error, which I have already posted on the second page of this thread) and just made the problem worse.

http://www.nabble.com/Problem-compile-Q ... 92075.html

Regarding the above link you posted, I have actually ran into that thread while searching for a solution. I tried one of the poster's solution of by putting #ifndef but that gave me the Qradiobutton error (which concheng also got).

So as a experiment, I've tried the old contrib file "contrib-20071002-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-runtime-3.12-only.tar.bz2" from http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs/ but it STILL gave the same error.

And have tried wiping cygwin and started from scratch (so many times that I forgot how much); it didn't really help either. I've also tried with downgrading the mingw-runtime and it still produced same (the interlocked) error.

[Boo025]

I decided to just go with the older build (0.8.6i) due to the Qt problems...

This is what I did to get the 0.8.6i build to compile correctly:
1. Setup Cygwin as explained in http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwinNew page.

2. When installing the packages for Cygwin DO NOT install "mingw-runtime".

3. Download the older version of "mingw-runtime" from http://download.thaigrid.or.th/pub/cygw ... -1.tar.bz2

4. Download the older contrib file from http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs ... ly.tar.bz2

5. Save both of them in your Cygwin installed folder. (eg. C:\Cygwin)

6. Launch Cygwin and change directory to the Cygwin installed folder, where the downloaded files are located. Use the following command to install the packages; don't just extract the files using WinRAR or etc.

Code: Select all

tar xjvf mingw-runtime-3.10-1.tar.bz2 -C / tar xjvf contrib-20071002-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-runtime-3.12-only.tar.bz2 -C /

7. Download the vlc-0.8.6i source from http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.6i/ and extract it at a location you desire.

8. Create a new file for "configure-vlc.sh" use the following setting:

Code: Select all

./bootstrap && \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \ CC="ccache gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="ccache g++ -mno-cygwin" \ ./configure \ --disable-gtk \ --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame \ --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --disable-flac --enable-theora \ --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \ --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \ --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \ --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \ --disable-mkv \ --enable-debug

REMOVE "ccache" from CC and CCX line from the script if you don't use ccache. Don't forget to do "dos2unix configure-vlc.sh" after saving the file.

9. After it's done just do "make" then "make package-win32-zip" and look for the zip file. Note that the above configuration doesn't have support for FLAC and mkv; it errors if you enable it.

Hope it helps...

As I suspected, problem is between qt4 and w32 api. According to trolltech support staff version 3.11 w32 api should work.
http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tra ... thod=entry

[concheng]

It work!! I downgraded my w32 apI to version 3.11which you can download here: http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/down ... -2/w32api/
and then compile. at first, I ran into a error: cannot find lqjpeg, then I found the solution from previous post. the solution is to dowload qt4-4.4.1-win32-bin.tar.bz2 from http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... 5/contrib/ and then copy libqjpeg.a in package into /win32 directory. then no anymore error, I typed make package-win32-base, after that I copy the vlc-0.9.3 fold generated by make command to other directory. I tried play a DVD and music CD on it, everything work!! thank you very much!!! vlc_help!!!!!

[jack_jones]

I have the same problem with concheng:

I updated the qt4 with"qt4-4.4.1-win32-bin.tar.bz2",but it is not useful.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Downgrade your win32api

[jack_jones]

Where can I download the win32api?
Thank you.

[jack_jones]

,sorry.
Now I see the link for win32api :http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/down ... -2/w32api/
thank you too,concheng .

[ariko]

Hi all,

Now I compile VLC on Cygwin , but I stuck at this errors. I've read the previous post that I should downgrade my win32api , but how to do it. Please explain clearly. I'm using contrib-20080528-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2. Thanks you.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

I am going to provide new contribs.

[VLC_help]

ariko: just download w32api 3.11 from http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/down ... -1.tar.bz2 there and extract the contest to cygwin folder. make package-win32-base is broken ATM so I suggest to wait 'till it gets fixed (and wait 'till j-b releases new contribs).

[ariko]

Thanks j-b and VLC_help for your reply. I wait to download the new contribs.

[slowbeat]

replace "small" to "ssmall" ( in preferences.hpp and preferences.cpp )

ex) QRadioButton *ssmall,*all; <---- THIS IS THE LINE 82
