[vlc] Re: Porting VLC on MIPS

[kartikay malhotra]

Hello All,

Taking clue from
http://wiki.videolan.org/index.php/Win32Compile#Configuring_the_build
I tried to compile VLC for MIPS (little endian)

I am (for the present) using generic toolchain: mipsel-linux.

I'm using the following configuration:

./configure --host=mipsel-linux --build=i386-linux --disable-mad
--with-libmpeg2-tree=/home/vlc_mips/mpeg2dec-0.4.1-cvs/ --disable-wxwidgets
--disable-skins2 --disable-gnomevfs --disable-x11 --disable-glx
--disable-opengl --disable-screen --disable-sdl --without-libiconv-prefix

I get the following error:

mkdir .libs
mipsel-linux-gcc -Wsign-compare -Wall -pipe -o vlc vlc-vlc.o  src/libvlc.a
./modules/codec/ffmpeg/libffmpeg.a
./modules/stream_out/libstream_out_switcher.a ./modules/codec/liblibmpeg2.a

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vlc_mips/vlc-0.8.5'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I tried compiling libiconv from source. It compiles correctly with the
following options:
./configure --host=mipsel-linux --build=i386-linux
However, no libiconv.a is created. Only libiconv.la/.so are present.

I'd tried compiling VLC with:

 --with-libiconv-prefix=/path/to/libiconv-1.9.1/ , but that too gives the
same error as above.

Any suggesstions?

Many Thanks
