Compile VLC 2.2.0 on Windows MSYS

[Khain]

Hello,
I have a trouble when compiling VLC 2.2.0 on Windows (With Msys ... i follow the tutorial https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew)
When I compile using the command "make package- win32 -base"
after a while I get the following error :

Code: Select all

. . /.. / / include / vlc_fixups.h : . . 187:38 : error : expected ') ' before ' struct ' . . /.. / / include / vlc_fixups.h : . . 187:38 : error : expected ') ' before ' struct ' . . /.. / / include / vlc_fixups.h : . . 187:38 : error : expected initializer before ' struct ' . . /.. / / include / vlc_fixups.h : . . 187:38 : error : expected unqualified -id before ' struct ' localtime_r structure tm * (const time_t * , struct tm *) ; . . /.. / / include / vlc_fixups.h : . . 191:41 : error : expected ') ' before ' struct ' . . /.. / / include / vlc_fixups.h : . . 191:41 : error : expected ') ' before ' struct ' . . /.. / / include / vlc_fixups.h : . . 187:38 : error : expected unqualified -id before ' struct ' make [ 7] : *** [ commands/libskins2_plugin_la-cmd_dvd.lo ] Error 1 .

I try to solve my problrem with this page https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileM ... leShooting
but nothing works ...

Have you any idea?

Thanks.

Hello,

I install TDM-GCC 4.8.1-tdm-2 (With MingwRunime 3.20-2 / mingw32-make 3.82.90 ... )

[erkable]

Was there any resolution to this problem? I am seeing the same thing.

[mkmanoj009]

hello
i have compiled vlc-2.2.4 32bit using mingw32(i686-5.4.0-release-win32-sjlj-rt_v5-rev0) and msys32 successfully for windows.
when i run vlc.exe on another windows system it could not. but using TDM-GCC this issue is also resolved (thanks Khain for this solution).

please help for :

** my question is to how get ride of TDM-gcc dependency.
** is there any other method which include TDM-gcc libraries during compilation phase, so that during run time on other system that will run properly.

Thanks in advance please help me.
