[vlc-devel] Re: help compiling win32 plugin

[Graeme Ogilvie]

I'm making some progress on this, but I'm now interested in how things
need to be packaged up.  VLC is running, but a lot of the modules are
missing, and I suspect that this is because none of them are in the
correct directories.

There is some reference to this in the cross-compile document, but I
suspect that it's badly out of date now.

Any hints from anybody?

I'm assuming (hoping) whoever makes the binary distributions for Windows
should have script for this.

Cbuilder is only used to compile the win32 native interface. I never 
compiled it myself (don't have Cbuilder), when I compile vlc I always
use 
the GTK one.

As for the compilation of vlc, I usually build it from linux 
(cross-compiling) but I recently managed to compile it natively with a
mix 
of msys and cygwin. More precisely, I run ./bootstrap under cygwin, then
I 
./configure under msys until it fails (generating the Makefiles) I the 
switch to cygwin again and run ./config.status then make until it fails
and 
I finally switch back to msys and run make.

Piece of cake ;)
