Tag §PLUGIN§, §SOURCES§ and §HEADERS§ in msvc project

Postby DaRkYoda63 » 31 Mar 2006 15:18

Hello,

I try to compile VLC under windows with MSVC.

I don't understand hox to replace the tag §PLUGIN§, §SOURCES§ and §HEADERS§ with the correct name, files and headers ...

How can I do that automaticaly ?

Thanks

Looks like you took the svn.

All the file you see in /msvc/ are .in files and are used to generate le project file.

to do that you need to run ./toolbox --update-vc.

But to run update-vc you need to have run bootstrap and configure once. (and for that you need cygwin) :(

So a better solution is to get a snapshot on nightlies.videolan.org where the project file are already generated.

Thanks you very mutch for your response Xtophe

I don't take source from the svn, but from the snapshot here : http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/source/

I test with 2 snapshots, the 20051123 is ok, no tag in project files but the last snapshot, like the 20060406 one is not ok and tag §PLUGIN§, §SOURCES§ and §HEADERS§ are present in source code...

Perhaps the nightly generation have a parameter who be loosed ?

Thanks if you can restored this options to snapshots so I can build it directly with msvc...
