compiling for windows on GNU/Linux (Fedora 9)

[ramprasad85]

Hi
I downloaded the latest VLC source
then did yum-builddep vlc to install all the sources of the 3rd party libs required to build vlc
it installed around 90 dependancies like x264, ffmpeg etc etc (but not libavcodec)
I was able to build VLC for linux
i installed Mingw and tested it
i tried building VLC for windows using the following configure-vlc.sh

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/home/ramprasad/x264 \
CXXCPP=i586-mingw32msvc-cpp \
CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc \
CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ \
./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux \
--disable-gtk \
--disable-avcodec --disable-avformat --disable-swscale \
--disable-faad --disable-flac --disable-theora \

--disable-mad --disable-live555 \
--disable-postproc \
--enable-x264 --with-x264-tree=/home/ramprasad/x264 \
--disable-a52
when i do make
I am getting this error

Please tell me where i am wrong

[VLC_help]

There are some post that SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT doesn't exist on mingw.

For whatever reason the header shlobj.h for MinGW that I have doesn't have SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT defined, so that's kind of interesting.

Code: Select all

// Needed for MinGW: #ifndef SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT #define SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT 0 #endif

adding that to dirs.c hopefully helps.

[ramprasad85]

Thank you. it worked.

after making that change i am getting this error

when i searched on the web, i found people relating this to gcc

what should i do now
Thank you very much

[VLC_help]

Problem lies in IPv6 support. in6addr_any should be defined in ws2tcpip.h, so check that your ws2tcpip.h has it defined, but I suspect there is something wrong in VLC headers.

[ramprasad85]

Hi
I believe it is defined

[ramprasad@localhost ~]$ grep in6addr_any /usr/local/mingw/include/ws2tcpip.h
extern const struct in6_addr in6addr_any;

I dont need ipv6 support in my VLC
How can i disable it
In vlc i typed ./configure --help to see the options
i could not spot any option relating to ipv6
should I do some thing in mingw
what am i to do
Thank you

[VLC_help]

You have multiple ws2tcpip.h files in your system?

[ramprasad85]

no i dont have multiple copies of that file.

[root@localhost ~]# updatedb
[root@localhost ~]# locate ws2tcpip.h
/usr/local/mingw/include/ws2tcpip.h

I ran make again, and got the same error

My Cygwin/MIngW doesn't build libpulse_plugin_la-pulse because AFAIK it shouldn't be present in Windows builds.

And in pulse.c the include should be

Code: Select all

#include <portaudio.h>

[ramprasad85]

I just retyped --disable-pulse in my config.vlc
it worked. i was surprised.
then I had to add few a more --disable s.

my config-vlc.sh files is like this

If i do --disable-x264 the compilation is SUCCESSFUL
But the whole purpose of me compiling VLC is to have my x264.

In x264 dir when i do ./configure i get
[ramprasad@localhost x264_win]$ ./configure
Platform: X86
System: LINUX
avis input: no
mp4 output: no
pthread: yes
gtk: no
debug: no
gprof: no
PIC: no
shared: no
visualize: no

You can run 'make' or 'make fprofiled' now.


so in x264 i did ./configure --disable-pthread and i got

[ramprasad@localhost x264_win]$ ./configure
Platform: X86
System: LINUX
avis input: no
mp4 output: no
pthread: no
gtk: no
debug: no
gprof: no

shared: no

You can run 'make' or 'make fprofiled' now.


but still i get the same error while compiling VLC.
is it possible to disable pthreads while configuring VLC?
I tried --disable-pthread in config-vlc.sh. configure accepted it. but i am still getting that error while doing make.

The x264 i am using works for Linux compilation but not for the one targeted for windows
Is it required to build x264 FOR windows?
After fighting with x264 for some time i did
./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --disable-avis-input --disable-pthread --extra-ldflags=-lm
but It says
