[vlc-devel] Compiled VLC worked on WinXP but not Win7: follow-up

[Susan Henderson]

Hi again!

We have discovered the possible cause of the crash in Windows 
7.  We made some changes to:

       VLC_CONFIG_DIR
       VLC_DATA_DIR
       VLC_CACHE_DIR

in vlc\src\win32\dirs.c

That seems to be causing the problem.

Susan Henderson

Hi all!

We managed to compile VLC 1.1.5 in Windows XP under the
MinGW/Msys environment.  The compiled vlc.exe ran well on
various WinXP machines.  However, when we try the same vlc.exe
on Windows 7 machine, it crashed.

Is there anything I need to do different for Win 7 environment?

Regards,
Susan Henderson
