- VLC for Windows Cross-Compile HOWTO - 0.1
-
-*EASY* VLC cross-compilation using Linux for a Windows client
-
-Bill Eldridge & Gildas Bazin
-
-0) MSYS & mingw
-1) Download software packages
-2) Unpack sources
-3) Configure vlc
-4) Make
-5) Package for Windows
-6) Further resources
-
-0) MSYS & mingw
-
-As of version 1.0.5, the MSYS part of MingW has
-released an environment that will let you configure
-and compile packages for mingw directly on Windows.
-
- http://mingw.sourceforge.net
-
-Combined with the SDL & GTK development packages,
-this is enough to compile vlc without cross-compiling
-on Linux. However, for those of us who like Linux
-and want to cross-compile (say to automate nightly
-builds), read on.
-
-1) Download software packages
-
-Download all the software needed to /usr/local/src/VLC -
-including pre-compiled mingw32 cross-compiler for linux,
-SDL, gtk, directx, and of course vlc. You will also need
-various run-time DLLs on your Windows machine when you go
-to run the program.
-
-Go to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/windows.html and download:
-- mingw32 cross-compiler for linux: linux-cross-mingw32-10022002.tar.bz2
-- SDL-devel-1.2.3-mingw32.tar.gz (you can also go to www.libsdl.org)
-- gtk-win32-10022002.tar.bz2 development files.
-- the directx 7 headers. (Instead of downloading the whole directx SDK
-form Microsoft)
-
-Get vlc from:
-
- http://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/snapshots/
-
-(who needs a release version? you're compiling, after all :)
-or grab the cvs at:
-
- http://developers.videolan.org/cvs.html
-
-using the command:
-
-cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at anoncvs.videolan.org:/var/cvs/videolan -z3 co
-vlc
-
-(and no, you don't need to log in, that's why it's "anonymous")
-
-2) Unpack sources
-
-Unpack all your sources to the right place:
-
-[Note that you can put SDL & gtk in a different place,
-but then you'll have to edit the sdl-config & gtk-config.
-directx can go anywhere - you'll just set that path when
-you do vlc's configure]
-
-cd to your Source directory
-
-SRCDIR=`pwd` # /usr/local/src/VLC seems good, no?
-
-tar -jxvf linux-cross-mingw32-10022002.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
-
-tar -zxf SDL-devel-1.2.3-mingw32.tar.gz -C /usr/local/cross-tools
-cd /usr/local/cross-tools
-ln -s i586-mingw32msvc i386-mingw32msvc
-tar -xf SDL-1.2.3/i386-mingw32msvc.tgz
-rm -rf SDL-1.2.3
-
-cd $SRCDIR
-tar xjvf gtk-win32-10022002.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
-
-mkdir /usr/local/directx
-unzip -d /usr/local/directx/include dxheaders.zip
-
-tar -jxf <vlc-snapshot-xxx>.bz2 # Unless you used cvs
-cd vlc
-
-3) Configure vlc
-
-rm config.cache config.status
-make clean # or "make distclean" for pretty pretty
-
-PATH=/usr/local/cross-tools/bin:$PATH \
-CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc \
-./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc \
- --target=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux \
- --with-directx=/usr/local/directx \
- --with-gtk-config-path=/usr/local/gtk-win32/bin \
- --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/local/cross-tools/i586-mingw32msvc/bin
-
-4) make vlc
-
-PATH=/usr/local/cross-tools/bin:$PATH \
-make
-
-5) Package for Windows
-
-mkdir /usr/local/src/winvlc
-mkdir /usr/local/src/winvlc/plugins
-mkdir /usr/local/src/winvlc/share
-cp vlc.exe /usr/local/src/winvlc/
-cp plugins/*.so /usr/local/src/winvlc/plugins/
-cp share/*.psf /usr/local/src/winvlc/share/
-cd /usr/local/src
-strip winvlc/vlc.exe winvlc/plugins/*.so
-zip -r winvlc.zip winvlc
-
-Now place winvlc in your ftp/html downloads,
-or copy to your dos disk or move to a floppy
-(only about 270K)
-
-Uncompress to C:\winvlc
-
-Don't forget to place all the GTK and SDL dll's from the development packages
-you downloaded on http://www.videolan.org/vlc/windows.html in c:\winvlc
-
-cd c:\winvlc
-vlc -v
-
-Note: -v gives you errors in case something's not being found,
-otherwise not needed.
-
-
-6) Further resources (for this or other cross-compilation
-projects):
-
-At this time, mingw32_2.95.3.7-3_i386.deb and
-mingw32-runtime_1.2-1_i386.deb were at:
-
-http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/mingw32.html
-http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/mingw32-runtime.html
-
-and possibly on your CD - you might be able to find later
-versions, or save bandwidth, if you care. (Of course we'll
-only be testing what we put on the VideoLan website).
-While these are "Debian" packages, they work on Redhat
-and possibly elsewhere - download dpkg for your system
-and do something like:
-
-dpkg -x mingw32_2.95.3.7-3_i386.deb /tmp/ming
-dpkg -x mingw32-runtime_1.2-1_i386.deb /tmp/ming
-mv /tmp/ming/usr /usr/local/cross-tools
-
-
-Full DX-7 headers, libs & directx.h (the Peter Puck version)
-can be found at:
-
- http://fceultra.sourceforge.net/dev
-
-There are other versions of GTK for Windows available, but
-the one provided here has been hacked specifically for VideoLan.
