[vlc-devel] Too hard to build vlc in cygwin! Questions.Help please.

[dipanm]

Hi Dennis, 

 

Thanks for the quick response. 

 

I forgot to mention : I am using VLC on Linux - Fedora Core 6.  And the
version of VLC appears to be 0.8.6d. Let me know if any information
required. 

 

Thanks again.

 

Dipan.

Hi there.

 

I have some suggestions.

 

Don't use 3.14-1, it seems to break with win32 contribs.. try using older
like 3.13-1

 

Don't rename extracted contrib to /usr/win32, if the contrib was built with
win32-branch then instead you need to update the configure lines and point
to /usr/win32-branch everywhere (CONTRIB_TREE)

 

As for the moc/rcc/uic, I think those were available in some older contrib
packages. Having both moc and moc.exe would conflict (moc without extention
takes precedence) so those had to be deleted for compiling to win32.

 

- D

I want to build vlc in cygwin, I have tried many versions and packages but
still can't success build one.
I have several questions:
1.The newest version of mingw-runtime in cygwin is 3.14-1, not 3.11-1, is
there any difference between them? Should I use 3.11-1?
2.In the INSTALL.win32, it said the contrib libs should put in /usr/win32/,
but some contrib-....win32...tar.bz2 packages are extract to
/usr/win32-branch/, what the difference between win32/ and win32-branch/ ?
should I change the directories in './configure.sh' from /usr/win32/ to
/usr/win32-branch/ or create a win32/ link to win32-branch/ or rename
win32-branch/ to win32/ ? The last method seems has some problems.
3.Some articles said /usr/win32/bin/moc rcc uic should be deleted, but in
some contrb packages I can't find these files in this directory, why?

Now I download vlc-0.8.6d.tar.bz2 and
contrib-20070412-win32-0.8.6b-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2.
I extract the contrib package, the default directory is /usr/win32-branch, I
rename the dir to /usr/win32, then I 

use the script below to configure,
-----------------
 CONTRIB_TREE=/usr/win32
 PATH=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin:$PATH \
 ./bootstrap && \
 CPPFLAGS="-I${CONTRIB_TREE}/include -I${CONTRIB_TREE}/include/ebml" \
 LDFLAGS=-L${CONTRIB_TREE}/lib \
 PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=${CONTRIB_TREE}/lib/pkgconfig \
 CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
 ./configure \
     --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
     --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin --disable-gtk \
     --enable-nls \
     --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \
     --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
     --with-wx-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
     --with-freetype-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
     --with-fribidi-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
     --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=${CONTRIB_TREE}/live.com \
     --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
     --with-xml2-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
     --with-dvdnav-config-path=${CONTRIB_TREE}/bin \
     --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
     --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
     --disable-gnomevfs \
     --enable-dca \
     --enable-qt4 \
     --disable-optimizations \
     --enable-debug \

then make, but it stoped, said 
-----------------
libtool: link: warning: library '/usr/win32/lib/libdvdnav.la' was moved.
libtool: link: warning: library '/usr/win32/lib/libdvdread.la' was moved.
libtool: link: warning: library '/usr/win32/lib/libdvdcss.la' was moved.

libtool: link: cannot find the libraray
'/home/videolan/jb/0.8.6-bugifx/extras/contrrib/lib/libdvdread.la'
-----------------
I create a directory '/home/videolan/jb/0.8.6-bugifx/extras/contrrib/' and
make a link to /usr/win32/lib, then I 

make again , and encountered error again,
-----------------
In file included from parser/builder.cpp:36:
parser/../src/ft2_font.hpp:60: error: `FT_Glyph' does not name a type
parser/../src/ft2_font.hpp:61: error: `FT_BBox' does not name a type

parser/../src/ft2_font.hpp:76: error: `FT_Face' does not name a type
make[6]: *** [libskins2_plugin_a-builder.o] Error 1
-----------------

What should I do? Why it's so hard to build vlc? Can anyone help me? 
Thanks very much.
