Problem compiling the latest Windows 3.0 from GIT.

[Wildcopper]

Hello,

I could use some help with a problem I have compiling the latest GIT VLC version.
I'm in a VM with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bits, to cross-compile for Windows.

When arrives the moment to build the contribs, it doesn't work with the "prebuilt" ones.
So I proceed to compile the whole stuff.

During "make fetch", following happens:

Code: Select all

Any hints?
Thanks.

Update: I managed to fix that problem by using Ubuntu 16.04 32 bits.
Now I'm getting another error during the "make" phase of the contribs:

cp ../../contrib/tarballs/dxgi1_2.idl dxgi12 && cd dxgi12 && patch -fp1 < ../../../contrib/src/d3d11/dxgi12.patch

I'd be thankful for any advice.

Hi,

That looks like you are using an outdated version of mingw-w64
VLC requires version 5.0 (which only has release candidate so far, sadly). IIRC you need a mingw-w64 from after mid January 2016

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.
Looks like I'm going to have to build one myself...

[chouquette]

it should be pretty straight forward, IIRC you don't need to build all mingw-w64 projects individually, simply run to toplevel configure script, which should install everything you need.

Feel free to ask for more help here if it proves to be more complicated though!

[Wildcopper]

It's ok, I managed to compile and install the 5.0. Thanks for your kind offer!

Now I get this...

Fixed by installing "libtool".

New problem, yeah!

it continues that way for ages, and then:

@Chouquette:
I was wondering if it was possible to get a virtual machine configured to compile VLC properly.
I really need the 3.0 for a project since I need DX11 for HDCP and DRM management.

Thanks in advance.

[chouquette]

I'm sure it's possible, but I don't have any available.

That error message you posted seems like you either compiled mingw-w64 with a wrong target/host parameter(s); or that you're compiling the contribs with the wrong --host parameter.

As an exemple of proper mingw-w64, you can look at this dockerfile which we use to generate our winrt toolchains (which is almost a vanilla mingw-w64): https://code.videolan.org/thresh/docker ... Dockerfile

Once this is done, following the https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/ tutorial should work out of the box.

[Wildcopper]

Thank you very much, chouquette.
I've done exactly what you said, used the dockerfile to compile mingw-w64, worked just fine including the two patches.

But I'm still back to point one:

Could it be a bad wine library problem?

[runner0502]

i have the same problem, I compile and install mingw-w64 from git , the dx11 error still exist.
the error below
dxgi12/dxgi1_2.idl:43: error: syntax error, unexpected aKNOWNTYPE, expecting tIMPORT

anyone can help? thanks a lot

[runner0502]

I got it , it is wine problem

[richardy]

What did you do to fix it?

[runner0502]

apt-get install wine64-development-tools
motify contib\src\d3d9\rules.mak and contrib\src\d3d11\rules.mak IDL_INC_PATH = /usr/include/wine/windows/ to IDL_INC_PATH = /usr/include/wine-development/windows/

[runner0502]

apt-get install wine64-development-tools
motify contib\src\d3d9\rules.mak and contrib\src\d3d11\rules.mak IDL_INC_PATH = /usr/include/wine/windows/ to IDL_INC_PATH = /usr/include/wine-development/windows/

[richardy]

@runner0502 Thank you very much! This was the missing piece. I still needed to install packages not mentioned in the docs, remove all the qt4 packages and stuff from Ubuntu and install the qt5 packages. When packaging VLC for windows, I needed to modify the Makefile so that make would use todos and not unix2dos when changing the line endings on text files.

I will post more exact steps here https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=134885

If I had this much trouble cross compiling VLC, I am not sure we will be able to modify it to meet our requirements; but, thanks to your help, I can at least cross compile for Windows.
