If you did not see the warnings: Cygwin sucks.

In case you didn't know of the Wiki article:

Try compiling with MinGW otherwise:

thanks for your help this problem has been fixed
I change the line 144 in

Code: Select all

# Take the output of nm and produce a listing of raw symbols and C names. global_symbol_pipe="sed -n -e 's/^.*[ ]\\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\\)[ ][ ]*\\(\\)\\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\\)\$/\\1\\2\\3 \\3/p'"

But am having another problem when i compile now the cygwin come to some point and do nothing
i noticed that i have to enter something i enter exit and then it continue like when you press ignore
If you won't to install something and the installer found corrupted file why this error happened and how
i can solve this problem .

Thanks

Well try MinGW out - compiling with that is better since it creates native binaries and not psuedo-native ones with cygwin1.dll.

Dear all
Sorry for bother but just one last question all problem with cygwin solved
But when make package-win32-base on cygwin i get this error

Code: Select all

cp ./projects/activex/.libs/axvlc.dll ./vlc-0.9.8a/activex/ cp ./projects/activex/axvlc.dll.manifest ./vlc-0.9.8a/activex/ cp: cannot stat `./projects/activex/axvlc.dll.manifest': No such file or directo ry make: *** [package-win-common] Error 1

Plz help with this error because just one step left how I can solve it
And thanks

Edit your Makefile.am to fix this, or disable activex for the time being.

[ahmad_aljallad]

i found this if statment in makefile

Code: Select all

# ActiveX plugin if BUILD_ACTIVEX mkdir -p "$(win32_destdir)/activex" cp $(srcdir)/projects/activex/README.TXT $(win32_destdir)/activex/ cp $(srcdir)/projects/activex/test.html $(win32_destdir)/activex/ unix2dos $(win32_destdir)/activex/* cp $(top_builddir)/projects/activex/.libs/axvlc$(LIBEXT) $(win32_destdir)/activex/ cp $(top_srcdir)/projects/activex/axvlc.dll.manifest $(win32_destdir)/activex/ endif

do i have to delete it

Your pipe fix is close, but pasted badly. The [ ] should be tab character in there. Since tab turns into spaces when pasting you could substitute [[:blank:]], like this:

# Take the output of nm and produce a listing of raw symbols and C names
global_symbol_pipe="sed -n -e 's/^.*[[:blank:]]\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\)[[:blank:]][[:blank:]]*_\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\)$/\1 _\2 \2/p'"

Cross compiling from Linux is the only reliable way to get rid of those stupid build problems.
