compiling vlc for Strongarm and Qtopia?

[Christian Kohl]

Hi,
I am currently trying to compile vlc for an IPAQ3870 running
Familiar linux and Qtopia.

Here is what I am trying to do or have been told would be the best 
steps to do it:


> 1) get a cross-compiler from http://www.arm.linux.org
> 2) cross compile SDL-1.2.5 for StrongArm and Qtopia (Qt-embedded)
> 3) cross compile mad (libmad) for StrongArm
> 4) cross compile vlc for StrongArm and Qtopia (Qt-embedded)

I really haven't had any experience with cross-compiling, so at this 
stage 
I have hit a brick wall until I figure out how to do it.

Done 2) now ! (found a howto in the downloaded source)

for 3) I compiled mad but when I did make install it installed it in 
the correct directory 
but not as a .so file but only as a .la and .a . I thought it had to 
be .so file??

for 4) When I tried to compile vlc, I am sort of stuck because I am 
not sure what configure options to use.
The ones I am currently using are as follows:

CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --disable-dvd --enable-release --
prefix=/opt/Qtopia/ --disable-gtk --enable-fb --enable-sdl --disable-
xvideo --disable-plugins --disable-dvd --disable-dvdread --disable-
dummy --disable-x11 --enable-mad --with-mad=/opt/Qtopia/ arm-linux

I have tested in the qvfb but it then opened the video output not in 
the buffer but in normal window.
Once I put the enable-sdl option in it broke the make process

Any suggestions?
