[vlc-devel] Re: compile vlc on the windows platform

[Matthew Fullerton]

I am sending this to both lists as you posted seperate messages to each 
list, but they are best dealt with at once.

libmpeg2 compiles very well on Visual C++. Just use the 
project/workspace files provided. You will need directX installed (all 
modern versions of windows).

As for VLC, I have found cross-compiling on linux the best option, but 
many people use an environment known as cygwin to compile it on windows. 
Do not attempt to use VC++ to build VLC!!!

Useful documents for you:
A general guide to compiling VLC for windows:
http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/vlc/INSTALL.win32
A VERY useful guide to compiling VLC using cygwin. I found this A LOT 
more helpful than the general instructions when using cygwin:
http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/CygwinCompileEnvironmentRevB.pdf

As mentioned on another reply you will find these documents and lots 
more on the VLC developer page http://developers.videolan.org/vlc. Most 
helpful documents for libmpeg2 itself are contained within its source 
tree that I am sure you have by now downloaded.

All the best with it!
