[vlc-devel] Win32CompileMSYS

[Noor-E-Saba Hakim]

Dear all,

I've never used msys and mingw, but I tried to compile vlc using these
tools following the instructions found at

http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYS#Introduction

While following the instructions, it was proceeding fine upto setting up
Libtool. But during next step for setting up AutoConf, the command
"./mingwPORT.sh" gave me the following result ending with errors:

BTW, the dots ("....") are ommitted stuff to shorten the message.

I don't know what to do. If I want to go on to the next step "Updating
autoconf from contrib", the Win32CompileMSYS documents says to run the
command "cd vlc-trunk/extras/contrib", but I don't see any vlc-trunk
directory. Anyway, I copied directory 'vlc-0.8.6d' inside directory
"C:\msys\1.0\home\saba". Then I ran "./bootstrap" from
"vlc-0.8.6d/extras/contrib" directory in msys shell. The following is the
full result I got:

"
saba at DUALITY ~/vlc-0.8.6d/extras/contrib
$ ./bootstrap
++ gcc -dumpmachine
+ BUILD=mingw32
+ test 0 = 1
+ HOST=mingw32
+ rm -f config.mak
+ echo -e '# Automatically generated by bootstrap.\n# Make changes if you
know what you'\''re doing.\n'
+ test mingw32 '!=' mingw32
+ case $HOST in
+ echo 'HAVE_WIN32 = 1'
+ echo 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH = $(PREFIX)/lib/pkgconfig'
+ echo 'BUILD = mingw32'
+ echo 'HOST = mingw32'
++ pwd
+ echo 'PREFIX = /home/saba/vlc-0.8.6d/extras/contrib'
+ echo 'CC = '
+ echo 'CXX = '
+ echo 'LD = '
+ echo 'RANLIB = '
+ echo 'AR = '
+ echo 'EXTRA_CFLAGS =  '
+ echo 'EXTRA_CPPFLAGS =  -I/include'
+ echo 'EXTRA_LDFLAGS = '
+ echo 'EXTRA_PATH = '
+ which curl
+ wget --version
+ echo 'WGET = wget'
+ test -f /sw/bin/svn
+ test -f /usr/local/bin/svn
+ test -f /opt/local/bin/svn
+ svn help
+ echo 'You do not have a subversion client installed.'
You do not have a subversion client installed.

"

And then "make .autoconf" fails.

Could someone help me please. I want to build vlc in windows so that I can
cut out the functionalities that I don't need, and then add some
functionalities of my own.

Regards.

Saba
