<p>Arof3000: updated the contribs version and download location</p> <hr /> <div>=Introduction=<br /> MSYS is a helper environment for MinGW, the compiler chain for Windows based on GCC. It is the fastest way to build VLC natively on Windows.<br /> <br /> This howto was re-created by [[User:J-b|Jean-Baptiste Kempf]] and updated in June 2009.<br /> <br /> =Install MinGW=<br /> Use the main installer 5.1.4 found at<br /> http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download<br /> <br /> Go through the wizard, selecting &quot;Downlading and Install&quot; and using the candidate release. Select gcc, g++ and MinGW make. It should download automatically:<br /> *mingwrt-3.15<br /> *w32api-3.12<br /> *binutils-2.18<br /> *gcc-core-3.4.5<br /> *gcc-g++-3.4.5<br /> *mingw32-make-3.81<br /> <br /> =Install MSYS=<br /> * Install MSys 1.0.11-rc1 with the exe: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=2435&amp;filename=MSYS-1.0.11.exe<br /> * Install MSys Developer Tooltkit: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe<br /> <br /> == AutoTools ==<br /> Update your autoconf, automake and libtool by downloading and installing them, keeping in mind that you need to extract the content of the usr folder in C:\Msys<br /> * http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20autoconf/autoconf-2.63-1/autoconf-2.63-1-msys-1.0.11-bin.tar.lzma/download<br /> * http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20automake/automake-1.11-1/automake-1.11-1-msys-1.0.11-bin.tar.lzma/download <br /> * http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20libtool/libtool-2.2.7a-1/libtool-2.2.7a-1-msys-1.0.11-bin.tar.lzma/download<br /> <br /> You can also compile them according to:<br /> * http://wiki.enlightenment.org/index.php/EFL_Windows_XP<br /> * http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys<br /> <br /> =Install other tools=<br /> <br /> Installing mingw-utils is recommended: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz<br /> <br /> Installation of wget too: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/wget-1.9.1-mingwPORT.tar.bz2<br /> <br /> Although this is a mingwPORT package it already has a precompiled wget on board.<br /> Extract the .tar.bz2 file. It contains wget.exe in the bin subfolder, extract it to mingw/bin.<br /> <br /> == Install Git and checkout VLC==<br /> <br /> See [[Git_Windows]].<br /> <br /> == PKG-CONFIG== <br /> pkg-config is a mess, this is not NEWS... And you cannot compile it from Windows because of a few bugs...<br /> <br /> Get Glib from GNOME: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/glib/2.18/glib_2.18.2-1_win32.zip <br /> Unzip it.<br /> <br /> Get PKG-CONFIG from GNOME: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config-0.23-2.zip <br /> Unzip it too.<br /> <br /> =Contribs=<br /> Take the precompiled contribs from:<br /> http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs/<br /> <br /> Copy them in your ~<br /> tar xvjf contrib-20090813-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.15.2-only.tar.bz2 -C /<br /> rm /usr/win32/bin/moc /usr/win32/bin/uic /usr/win32/bin/rcc<br /> <br /> =Bootstrap VLC=<br /> cp /usr/win32/share/aclocal/* m4/<br /> cp /usr/share/aclocal/* m4/<br /> PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH ./bootstrap<br /> It should warn about gettext... Just ignore.<br /> <br /> =Configure=<br /> sh extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh<br /> <br /> =Compile=<br /> PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH make</div>
