[vlc-devel] What does vlc do with libxml2?

Hi Frédéric,

Thank you for your help and thank you for introducing me to ack-grep. 

I am trying to create a minimal version of vlc that needs to play only mp4 files with H.264/AAC codecs. VLC build configuration has a number of enable/disable options including the one for libxml2.

I checked for vlc_xml.h in modules directory. It appears, for my purpose, I don't need almost all of the modules that were found. However, freetype.c is also using vlc_xml.h. Looks like I would need to enable libxml2 and disable other modules specifically.


Regards,
Peter

Why don't you do something like:

ack-grep "#include <vlc_xml.h>" vlc/modules/

and see if you need these modules?

There's only a ten or so modules using libxml2.


Best regards,
Frédéric
