VLC Installation and Compilation Procedures for Windows (in Linux  Red Hat 9)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------
| Essential Files |
------------------------- 

To install VLC, we need the third party libraries,ie,

1) The third party libraries present in the Libraries folder are: 
 a)vlc-binary.tar.gz
 b)vlc-devel.tar_2.tar
 c)vlc-source.tar.tar
 d)redhat9-updates.tar.tar

2) The  VLC Source Code.

3) The  "mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar" which is the mingw Cross compiler.

4) Precompiled Libraries for Win32 are present in the "contrib-20040520-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.tar" file.

5) The these tools namely
  a) wxWindows Toolkit --> wxWindows-20031222.tar.tar
  b) gettext utility   --> gettext-0.12.1.tar.tar

6) WINE - Implementation of Windows on Linux is present in the WINE Folder.

7) NSIS - Nullsoft Scriptable Installer System is present in the NSIS Folder.

--------------------------------------------------
| PRE-VLC Installation Procedure |
--------------------------------------------------

STEP 1: Untarring and Installing the Libraries
 a) 'untar' each of the libraries using the command
   1) tar -xjvf <filename>    or    
  2) tar -xzvf <filaname>
 b) As a result folders having the filenames as the folder name will be created 
 c) Go to these folders and install the RPMs using the command
  rpm -ivh --nodeps --force <filename>
    or
  rpm -ivh --nodeps --force *.rpm  

STEP 2: Untarring and Installing wxWindows Toolkit
 a) Untar the wxWindows Toolkit using the command
  tar -xzvf wxWindows-20031222.tar.tar
 b) Go to the "wxWindows-20031222" folder created and perform the following steps 
  1) ./configure && make && make install
  2) Edit the file: /etc/ld.so.conf
  3) Add the path /<Directory where wxWindows was untarred>/wxWindows-20031222/lib       to this file

STEP 3: Untarring and Installing gettext utility
 a) Untar the gettext utility using the command
  tar -xzvf gettext-0.12.1.tar.tar
 b) Go to the "gettext-0.12.1" folder created and perform the following 
  ./configure && make && make install

STEP 4: Untarring and Installing mingw32 Cross Compiler
 a) Copy the "mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.tar" file to the / directory which can
           be navigated to by using "cd /"
 b) Untar the mingw Compiler using the command
  tar -xzvf mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.tar
 c) Automatically the files will be installed in /usr/local/mingw Folder.
 d) Edit the file: /etc/ld.so.conf
 e) Add the path "/usr/local/mingw/lib" to the file.
 f) Edit the File /etc/profile and navigate to the line where 
     "export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC" is written.
 g) Add the line "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mingw/bin" before this line. 

STEP 5: Untarring and Installing the Precompiled libraries for Win32
 a) Copy the "contrib-20040520-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.tar" file to the / directory      which can be navigated to by using "cd /" 
 b) Untar using the command
  tar -xzvf contrib-20040520-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.tar.tar
 c) Automatically the files will be installed in /usr/win32 Folder.
 d) Edit the file: /etc/ld.so.conf
 e) Add the path "/usr/win32/lib" to the file. 
STEP 6: Installing Wine and NSIS
 a) Install wine using the command
  rpm -ivh --nodeps --force wine-20040615-1rh9winehq.i386.rpm
 b) Install NSIS using the command
  wine nsis20.exe
-----------------------
| Installing VLC |
-----------------------

STEP 1: Untar the VLC Source file present in the "VLC Source" Folder using the command
  tar -xzvf vlc-0.7.2.tar_2.tar

STEP 2: Navigate to the "vlc-0.7.2" Folder created and perform the following actions

a) Configuring vlc for Windows:-
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/win32/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux --disable-sdl --disable-gtk --enable-nls --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin   --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin --enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/win32/live.com --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom --enable-debug --disable-cmml 

b) Compile vlc for windows:-
make

c) Edit and Make change in "vlc-source-directory/Makefile" (path to makensis.exe file):-
 Search for this line " #wine ~/.wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/NSIS/makensis.exe \"
 and replace it with the below lines.. 

        #wine ~/.wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/NSIS/makensis.exe \/
         wine /root/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/NSIS/makensis.exe \
             -- /DVERSION=${VERSION} $(srcdir)/vlc-${VERSION}/vlc.win32.nsi 

d) Creating Windows package(In zip format with Installer):-
make package-win32

e) Copy the vlc-0.7.2-win32.zip File Created to the Windows Machine and extract the Files there. or install 
 vlc-0.7.2-win32.exe in windows machine.

f) Run vlc.exe. Or if you want to run and see the vlc.exe in linux, just type "wine vlc" in vlc's folder.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
---------------------
If "tar -xjvf <filename>" emits error, please try using "tar -xzvf <filename>" instead and vice versa.
