Begginer issues

[Moffatt]

Hi. I'm having trouble getting http://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC_Tutorial to compile. I'm using Cygwin on Vista.

I copied the include folder into a seperate folder with my C file next to the include/vlc folder, changed the #include <vlc/vlc.h> to #include "vlc/vlc.h" and made equivalent changes in vlc.h.

When I run "cc example.c -lvlc -o example" i get these errors:

/c/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/ccPIGpcd.o:sample.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `_libvlc_exception_raised'

/c/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/ccPIGpcd.o:sample.c:(.text+0x16a): undefined reference to `_libvlc_release'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What do I need to do differently to get this to work? I assume I'm doing something completly wrong. I'm in the process of writing an app that needs to compile on multiple platforms.

bump.

here is my directory structure if it helps.

Code: Select all

.: mmx.h vlc_es.h vlc_osd.h sample.c vlc_es_out.h vlc_pgpkey.h vlc vlc_events.h vlc_playlist.h vlc_access.h vlc_filter.h vlc_plugin.h vlc_acl.h vlc_fixups.h vlc_rand.h vlc_aout.h vlc_gcrypt.h vlc_services_discovery.h vlc_arrays.h vlc_httpd.h vlc_sout.h vlc_bits.h vlc_image.h vlc_stream.h vlc_block.h vlc_input.h vlc_strings.h vlc_block_helper.h vlc_interface.h vlc_threads.h vlc_charset.h vlc_intf_strings.h vlc_tls.h vlc_codec.h vlc_iso_lang.h vlc_update.h vlc_codec_synchro.h vlc_keys.h vlc_url.h vlc_codecs.h vlc_main.h vlc_variables.h vlc_common.h vlc_md5.h vlc_vlm.h vlc_config.h vlc_messages.h vlc_vod.h vlc_config_cat.h vlc_meta.h vlc_vout.h vlc_configuration.h vlc_modules.h vlc_window.h vlc_demux.h vlc_mtime.h vlc_xml.h vlc_devices.h vlc_network.h vlc_epg.h vlc_objects.h ./vlc: deprecated.h libvlc_media_list.h mediacontrol.h libvlc.h libvlc_structures.h mediacontrol_structures.h libvlc_events.h libvlc_vlm.h vlc.h

I really need help on this. I think the problem is that i have no .dll or .c files. Where would I get these? I can't get the application source to compile. It locks up during the configure-vlc.sh script described by http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwin with this message

You have to replace in libvlc.h and other files the declarations like:

//VLC_PUBLIC_API void libvlc_exception_init( libvlc_exception_t *p_exception );
typedef void (VLC_PUBLIC_API * _libvlc_exception_init)(libvlc_exception_t *p_exception);
_libvlc_exception_init libvlc_exception_init;
