[vlc-devel] Re: Issue developping a simpler wxWindows interface module

[Greg Hazel]

Copying a module into a vlc directory should be enough, provided:
- all the required libraries for that module are in place
- the module_suffix and module_symbol are the same (the module meets the api
requirements of the version of vlc you are trying to run it with)

Good luck,
-Greg
