[vlc-devel] vlc compiling in msvc++ v6

[Brian Robb]

Hello.

I've managed to get vlc to compile in msvc++ v6.

Here are the changes I had to make:

-----------------------------------------------------------

libvlc:
In control.h you have:

mediacontrol_Position*
mediacontrol_get_media_position( mediacontrol_Instance *self,
                                mediacontrol_PositionOrigin an_origin,
                                mediacontrol_PositionKey a_key,
                                mediacontrol_Exception *exception )

And in control.c you have:

mediacontrol_Position*
mediacontrol_get_media_position( mediacontrol_Instance *self,
                                const mediacontrol_PositionOrigin an_origin,
                                const mediacontrol_PositionKey a_key,
                                mediacontrol_Exception *exception )

I had to add the missing const declarations (of an_origin and a_key)  into 
control.h

So control.h becomes:

mediacontrol_Position*
mediacontrol_get_media_position( mediacontrol_Instance *self,
                                const  mediacontrol_PositionOrigin 
an_origin,
                                const mediacontrol_PositionKey a_key,
                                mediacontrol_Exception *exception )


-----------------------------------------------------------

The next problem is msvc v6 doesn't support long long types.

libvlc:
vlc/control.h and control/util.c files have "long long" declarations in 
them...

Solution: Check for #ifdef CC_HAS_LONG_LONG and make a LONG_LONG type...

e.g.

#ifdef CC_HAS_LONG_LONG
#define LONG_LONG long long
#else
#define LONG_LONG __int64
#endif

Then change everywhere where it says long long to LONG_LONG

(I had to make other changes aswell, but I'm not as sure of those changes so 
I'll leave them out.)

:)
