[vlc] xvmc support status

[Sebastien Fievet]

hello there,

I fetched the nightly tarball vlc-snapshot-20070514.tar.bz2, in order to test xvmc
support in vlc. Unfortunately the video output module fails to compile when
xvmc is enabled.

there is an incorrectly specified include path in "modules/video_output/x11/xvmc.c" :
changing #include "../../codec/xxmc/accel_xvmc.h"
to #include "../../codec/xvmc/accel_xvmc.h" did the trick, but such a typo makes me
wonder if the code has been tested recently.
Anyways, the build fails later on in modules/video_output/x11, when compiling
xvmc.c. The failing command is :

 gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../../modules/video_output/x11 -I../../.. -I/opt/include -I/opt/X11/include -I/opt/vlc/include -DSYS_LINUX -I../../../../include -I/opt/vlc/include -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__USE_UNIX98 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -DLOCALEDIR=\"/opt/vlc/share/locale\" -DDATA_PATH=\"/opt/vlc/share/vlc\" -DPLUGIN_PATH=\"/opt/vlc/lib/vlc\" -DHAVE_RELEASE -O3 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -mtune=k8 -fomit-frame-pointer -D__LIBVLC__ -D__PLUGIN__ -DMODULE_NAME=xvmc -DMODULE_NAME_IS_xvmc -fvisibility=hidden -O2 -mtune=k8 -m32 -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wsign-compare -Wundef -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-prototypes -Wvolatile-register-var -MT libxvmc_plugin_la-xvmc.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libxvmc_plugin_la-xvmc.Tpo -c ../../../../modules/video_output/x11/xvmc.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libxvmc_plugin_la-xvmc.o

and the error :

In file included from ../../../../modules/video_output/x11/xvmc.c:70:
../../../../modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.h:159: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'xvmc_macroblocks_t'

I am using :
- gcc 4.1.1
- glibc 2.4
- nvidia card with drivers v1.0-9755
- libXvMCW wrapper v0.9.3

My C skills being rather limited, i was wondering if someone out there could help me
at compiling vlc with xvmc enabled? And BTW, is the xvmc module supposed
to work with Nvidia cards?

Thank you for your help!
Regards, Séb
