Hi<br>I am running Fedora 9<br>I would like to compile x264 for windows so that i can compile VLC for windows<br>I have installed mingw<br>i have downloaded the source code using git<br>i tried running <br><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --disable-pthread --disable-avis-input</span><br>
and i got this output<br><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Platform: X86</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">System: MINGW</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">avis input: no</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">mp4 output: no</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">pthread: no</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">gtk: no</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">debug: no</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">gprof: no</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">PIC: no</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">shared: no</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">visualize: no</span><br><br>then when i run make i am getting a big list of "strip: file format not recognized" followed by many "undefined reference"s. <br>
I used mingw's gcc, strip, ar, ranlib. finally x264.exe got created. but when i ran it on windows it crashed with "Send error report" dialog box".<br>before I paste the error i would like to know if i am on the right track. Please tell me how x264 is usually compiled on linux for windows (I have to integrate it with VLC and use it on windows)<br>
Thank you.<br>
