[vlc] Re: Compiling vlc under cygwin on Windoz (resent)

[Gilbert Tsang]

Thanks Gildas for your informative reply, really appreciate it!

Just got the following error with DirectX headers installed (see the
lengthy error below).

Does DirectX require audio by default? If so, anyway to just include
DirectX video? I guess the bottom line is, if directx need compulsory
audio enabled, I'll install whatever packages required. 

Thanks again for any pointers you may have on this (and the useful
configure options :)

Best regards,

Gilbert.

using --enable-directx is not enough to have the directx video outupt 
compiled (And looking at your screenshot, it seems you don't).

You need to download the directx headers: 
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/dx7headers.tgz, uncompress them to some
place
and also pass to ./configure the path to these headers 
(--with-directx=/usr/local/dxheaders).

You don't need SDL if you use the DirectX plugins.

GTK is needed only for the interface plugin (the gui). You can manage 
without it as there also is a simple interactive command line interface 
(the rc plugin).

See above.

The ones you've been using seem to be enough.

Hope this helps,
