<p>Aztek: </p> <hr /> <div>__NOTOC__<br /> <br /> Welcome to VLC's developers corner. This is a directory of everything to do with the development of VLC. If you are looking for information about downloading or using VLC, you should have a look at our website [[http://www.videolan.org]].<br /> <br /> {| cellspacing=&quot;3&quot; <br /> |- valign=&quot;top&quot; <br /> |width=&quot;40%&quot; class=&quot;MainPageBG&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #ffc9c9; color: #000; background-color: #fff3f3&quot;|<br /> <br /> === Compiling VLC ===<br /> <br /> To compile VLC, you first need to get the [[GetTheSource|Source Code]].<br /> <br /> * [[UnixCompile|How to compile on Unix/Linux]]<br /> * [[Win32Compile|How to compile on Windows]]<br /> * [[OSXCompile|Hww to compile on Mac OS X]]<br /> * [[BeOSCompile|How to compile on BeOS]]<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- At the moment, all information is available from here : http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/ --&gt;<br /> <br /> |width=&quot;60%&quot; class=&quot;MainPageBG&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #c6c9ff; color: #000; background-color: #f0f0ff&quot;|<br /> <br /> === Joining us ===<br /> <br /> VideoLAN welcomes anyone wanting to help, either by writing code, finding or fixing bugs, starting or updating translations, doing graphics work, ...<br /> <br /> ==== Getting started ====<br /> <br /> Getting started at coding is a matter of finding something to fix, and fixing it. Once you have fixed something, you will want to send in a patch. If you do that a few times, you may want to apply for an SVN account so you can fix things directly.<br /> <br /> You might be interested in having a look at our [[Mini_Projects]], which are some identified development efforts for which an existing VLC developer is willing to help a new developer in his progress. These [[Mini_Projects]] generally don't require a great knowledge of VLC code.<br /> <br /> It is recommended that you join the vlc-devel [http://developers.videolan.org/lists.html mailing list], where all commits are archived.<br /> <br /> [[Getting_Started_At_Coding|More information on how to get started at coding on VLC]].<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;margin:3pt;width:100%;border: 1px solid #119900; color: #000; background-color: #ddffdd&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> === What is currently going on ===<br /> <br /> These pages are used to coordinate some of the currently ongoing development or artwork works.<br /> <br /> ==== Development ====<br /> <br /> * [[VoutRework]] - improving the video output subsystem<br /> * [[ExternalAPI]] - improving the external API to vlc<br /> * [[MediaControlAPI]] - an high level player-independant media API, wrapping around our [[ExternalAPI]]<br /> * [[0.8.6PlaylistTODO]] - Major changes in the upcoming version<br /> * [[telnet rc rewrite]] - Merging the &quot;telnet&quot; and &quot;rc&quot; controls <br /> * [[SimplePreferences]] - We wish to add a &quot;simple&quot; preferences mode, additionnaly to the full mode we already have<br /> <br /> <br /> === Design ====<br /> * [[DefaultSkinRequirements]] - what you need to make a skin that might be eligible for default skin<br /> * [[WebsiteRedesign]] <br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> == Other software ==<br /> <br /> VideoLAN is mainly about VLC, but not only.<br /> <br /> Other software by VideoLAN include: <br /> * [[libdvdcss]], a library to access DVD data without bothering about the CSS encryption<br /> * [[libdvdplay]], a DVD navigation support library<br /> * [[libdvbpsi]], a library to decode and create MPEG-TS and DVB-PSI tables<br /> * [[libdca]], a DTS Coherent Acoustics audio decoder library<br /> * [[x264]], a [[H264]] encoding library<br /> <br /> == Miscellaneous how-to ==<br /> Cédric Bosdonnat 's [http://134.214.107.10:85/sims/index.php/Client_query notes] (fr) about developing a new module type.<br /> <br /> Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò 's [http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/video/vlc.xml notes] about packaging VLC into [http://www.gentoo.org/ Gentoo].<br /> <br /> * [[Add a skin|How to add a skin on the skins download page]]</div>

<p>Aztek: </p> <hr /> <div>Copyed from http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/vlc/INSTALL.win32<br /> <br /> <br /> $Id: INSTALL.win32 15707 2006-05-22 09:42:08Z xtophe $<br /> <br /> INSTALL file for the Windows9x/Me/NT4/2k/XP version of the VLC media player<br /> <br /> <br /> Running VLC<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;===========&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> If you have already built VLC (see below) or are using a binary release,<br /> just run 'vlc.exe'.<br /> <br /> You can also run VLC from a dos command box, in which case you'll be able<br /> to use the command line arguments. You can obtain a list of these command<br /> line arguments by typing 'vlc --help' or 'vlc --help --advanced'.<br /> <br /> To store a debug log of the current VLC session, you can use<br /> 'vlc -vv --extraintf=logger'. You will end-up with a vlc-log.txt file in<br /> your current directory.<br /> <br /> Additional documentation is available at http://www.videolan.org/doc/<br /> <br /> <br /> Building VLC from the source code<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;=================================&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> If you want to build VLC from sources, you can do it in several ways:<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using cygwin (www.cygwin.com) with or without the<br /> POSIX emulation layer. This is the preferred way to compile vlc if you want<br /> to do it on Windows.<br /> NOTE: This is the PREFERRED way of building VLC natively (the others<br /> are not as much tested so expect more difficulties with them).<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using MSYS+MINGW (www.mingw.org)<br /> (MSYS is a minimal build environment to compile Unixish projects under<br /> windoze. It provides all the common Unix tools like sh, gmake...)<br /> Please note that the gettext utilities are not included in the default<br /> MSYS/MINGW packages so you won't be able to build VLC with i18n support.<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using Microsoft Visual C++. Even though we provide some<br /> msvc project files with vlc, this method is advised only if you just want to<br /> experiment/play with some basic functionality in vlc. The reason for this<br /> is that vlc depends on a lot of 3rd party libraries and building them in<br /> MSVC is not convenient and sometimes even impossible.<br /> ( NOTE: if you want to run vlc under the msvc debugger, you need to run it<br /> with the --fast-mutex --win9x-cv-method=1 options because the debugger<br /> usually loses signals sent by PulseEvent() )<br /> <br /> - or on GNU/Linux, using the mingw32 cross-compiler.<br /> <br /> Getting the right compiler tools<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;================================&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> - cross-compiling with mingw32:<br /> You first need to download a GNU/Linux cross-compiler version of mingw32.<br /> <br /> For Debian GNU/Linux users, you can use the mingw32, mingw32-binutils and<br /> mingw32-runtime packages.<br /> <br /> - compiling natively on Windoze with cygwin:<br /> You will need to download and run the setup.exe app from cygwin's web site<br /> (www.cygwin.com). You will also need to make sure you install at least the<br /> gcc-g++, gcc-mingw, mingw-runtime and win32-api packages.<br /> <br /> - compiling natively on Windoze with MSYS+MINGW:<br /> You will need to download and install the latest MSYS, MSYS-DTK and MINGW.<br /> The installation is really easy. Begin with the MSYS auto-installer and once<br /> this is done, extract MINGW into c:\msys\1.0\mingw. You also have to remember<br /> to remove the make utility included with MINGW as it conflicts with the one<br /> from MSYS (just rename or remove c:\msys\1.0\mingw\bin\make.exe).<br /> <br /> http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.9.exe<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe<br /> <br /> Getting the additional libraries<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;=================================&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> VLC depends on other libraries to provide some features like ac3 audio decoding<br /> or mpeg4 video decoding, etc...<br /> <br /> Depending on your needs you will have to compile/install some or all of these<br /> external libraries.<br /> <br /> * They can be found here (source code):<br /> http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/contrib/<br /> <br /> * We also provide a package with all the libraries already compiled so it is<br /> actually really easy to compile a full-featured version of vlc (these compiled<br /> libraries will only work with mingw or cygwin):<br /> http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2<br /> (Check out for more recent versions at the same location). <br /> <br /> All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files<br /> and libraries will be put in /usr/win32). You can do this with the following<br /> command: <br /> <br /> tar xjvf contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2 -C /<br /> <br /> Please note the &quot;-C /&quot;. <br /> <br /> * An automated way of building the contrib libraries is provided in <br /> extra/contrib. It will download, configure and build the libraries.<br /> See the extras/contrib/README for more info.<br /> <br /> A complete list of the libraries on which we depend can be found here:<br /> http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/<br /> <br /> Configuring the build<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;=====================&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> Once you've got all the files you need in place, you need to configure the<br /> build with the `./configure' script.<br /> <br /> I'll assume that you are using the pre-compiled 3rd party libraries I'm<br /> providing and that they are in /usr/win32.<br /> <br /> If you are cross-compiling from Debian, you can use something<br /> along those lines:<br /> <br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \<br /> CPPFLAGS=&quot;-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml&quot; \<br /> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \<br /> CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ \<br /> ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \<br /> --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \<br /> --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> If you are using cygwin, you can build VLC with or without the POSIX<br /> emulation layer. Without is usually better and with POSIX emulation<br /> hasn't been tested in about a year or so. So to build without the<br /> emulation layer, use something like this:<br /> <br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \<br /> CPPFLAGS=&quot;-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml&quot; \<br /> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \<br /> CC=&quot;gcc -mno-cygwin&quot; CXX=&quot;g++ -mno-cygwin&quot; \<br /> ./configure \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \<br /> --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \<br /> --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> If you want to use the emulation layer, then just omit the CC=&quot;gcc -mno-cygwin&quot;<br /> CXX=&quot;g++ -mno-cygwin&quot; line. You're on your own though.<br /> <br /> If you are compiling with MSYS/MINGW, then you can use something along those<br /> lines:<br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \<br /> CPPFLAGS=&quot;-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml&quot; \<br /> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \<br /> ./configure \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \<br /> --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --disable-mkv \<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> If you have used the &quot;extras/contrib&quot; way, you don't need to precise <br /> the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and --with-foo-config-path=.<br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> ./configure \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --enable-mkv --enable-caca --enable-live555\<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> <br /> See `./configure --help' for more information.<br /> <br /> Actually Compiling the VLC source<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;=================================&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> Once configured, to build VLC, just run `make'.<br /> <br /> Once the compilation is done, you can either run VLC directly from the source<br /> tree or you can build self-contained VLC packages with the following<br /> 'make' rules:<br /> <br /> make package-win32-base<br /> will create a subdirectory named vlc-x.x.x with all the binaries<br /> 'stripped' (ie. without any debugging symbols).<br /> <br /> make package-win32-zip<br /> Same as above but will package the directory in a zip file.<br /> <br /> make package-win32<br /> Same as above but will also create an auto-installer package. You will need<br /> to have NSIS installed in its default location for this to work.<br /> <br /> Well done, now you're ready to use VLC!<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;=======================================&lt;/nowiki&gt;</div>

You can obtain a list of these command<br /> line arguments by typing 'vlc --help' or 'vlc --help --advanced'.<br /> <br /> To store a debug log of the current VLC session, you can use<br /> 'vlc -vv --extraintf=logger'. You will end-up with a vlc-log.txt file in<br /> your current directory.<br /> <br /> Additional documentation is available at http://www.videolan.org/doc/<br /> <br /> <br /> Building VLC from the source code<br /> =================================<br /> <br /> If you want to build VLC from sources, you can do it in several ways:<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using cygwin (www.cygwin.com) with or without the<br /> POSIX emulation layer. This is the preferred way to compile vlc if you want<br /> to do it on Windows.<br /> NOTE: This is the PREFERRED way of building VLC natively (the others<br /> are not as much tested so expect more difficulties with them).<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using MSYS+MINGW (www.mingw.org)<br /> (MSYS is a minimal build environment to compile Unixish projects under<br /> windoze. It provides all the common Unix tools like sh, gmake...)<br /> Please note that the gettext utilities are not included in the default<br /> MSYS/MINGW packages so you won't be able to build VLC with i18n support.<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using Microsoft Visual C++. Even though we provide some<br /> msvc project files with vlc, this method is advised only if you just want to<br /> experiment/play with some basic functionality in vlc. The reason for this<br /> is that vlc depends on a lot of 3rd party libraries and building them in<br /> MSVC is not convenient and sometimes even impossible.<br /> ( NOTE: if you want to run vlc under the msvc debugger, you need to run it<br /> with the --fast-mutex --win9x-cv-method=1 options because the debugger<br /> usually loses signals sent by PulseEvent() )<br /> <br /> - or on GNU/Linux, using the mingw32 cross-compiler.<br /> <br /> Getting the right compiler tools<br /> ================================<br /> <br /> - cross-compiling with mingw32:<br /> You first need to download a GNU/Linux cross-compiler version of mingw32.<br /> <br /> For Debian GNU/Linux users, you can use the mingw32, mingw32-binutils and<br /> mingw32-runtime packages.<br /> <br /> - compiling natively on Windoze with cygwin:<br /> You will need to download and run the setup.exe app from cygwin's web site<br /> (www.cygwin.com). You will also need to make sure you install at least the<br /> gcc-g++, gcc-mingw, mingw-runtime and win32-api packages.<br /> <br /> - compiling natively on Windoze with MSYS+MINGW:<br /> You will need to download and install the latest MSYS, MSYS-DTK and MINGW.<br /> The installation is really easy. Begin with the MSYS auto-installer and once<br /> this is done, extract MINGW into c:\msys\1.0\mingw. You also have to remember<br /> to remove the make utility included with MINGW as it conflicts with the one<br /> from MSYS (just rename or remove c:\msys\1.0\mingw\bin\make.exe).<br /> <br /> http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.9.exe<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe<br /> <br /> Getting the additional libraries<br /> =================================<br /> <br /> VLC depends on other libraries to provide some features like ac3 audio decoding<br /> or mpeg4 video decoding, etc...<br /> <br /> Depending on your needs you will have to compile/install some or all of these<br /> external libraries.<br /> <br /> * They can be found here (source code):<br /> http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/contrib/<br /> <br /> * We also provide a package with all the libraries already compiled so it is<br /> actually really easy to compile a full-featured version of vlc (these compiled<br /> libraries will only work with mingw or cygwin):<br /> http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2<br /> (Check out for more recent versions at the same location). <br /> <br /> All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files<br /> and libraries will be put in /usr/win32). You can do this with the following<br /> command: <br /> <br /> tar xjvf contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2 -C /<br /> <br /> Please note the &quot;-C /&quot;. <br /> <br /> * An automated way of building the contrib libraries is provided in <br /> extra/contrib.

You can obtain a list of these command<br /> line arguments by typing 'vlc --help' or 'vlc --help --advanced'.<br /> <br /> To store a debug log of the current VLC session, you can use<br /> 'vlc -vv --extraintf=logger'. You will end-up with a vlc-log.txt file in<br /> your current directory.<br /> <br /> Additional documentation is available at http://www.videolan.org/doc/<br /> <br /> <br /> Building VLC from the source code<br /> =================================<br /> <br /> If you want to build VLC from sources, you can do it in several ways:<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using cygwin (www.cygwin.com) with or without the<br /> POSIX emulation layer. This is the preferred way to compile vlc if you want<br /> to do it on Windows.<br /> NOTE: This is the PREFERRED way of building VLC natively (the others<br /> are not as much tested so expect more difficulties with them).<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using MSYS+MINGW (www.mingw.org)<br /> (MSYS is a minimal build environment to compile Unixish projects under<br /> windoze. It provides all the common Unix tools like sh, gmake...)<br /> Please note that the gettext utilities are not included in the default<br /> MSYS/MINGW packages so you won't be able to build VLC with i18n support.<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using Microsoft Visual C++. Even though we provide some<br /> msvc project files with vlc, this method is advised only if you just want to<br /> experiment/play with some basic functionality in vlc. The reason for this<br /> is that vlc depends on a lot of 3rd party libraries and building them in<br /> MSVC is not convenient and sometimes even impossible.<br /> ( NOTE: if you want to run vlc under the msvc debugger, you need to run it<br /> with the --fast-mutex --win9x-cv-method=1 options because the debugger<br /> usually loses signals sent by PulseEvent() )<br /> <br /> - or on GNU/Linux, using the mingw32 cross-compiler.<br /> <br /> Getting the right compiler tools<br /> ================================<br /> <br /> - cross-compiling with mingw32:<br /> You first need to download a GNU/Linux cross-compiler version of mingw32.<br /> <br /> For Debian GNU/Linux users, you can use the mingw32, mingw32-binutils and<br /> mingw32-runtime packages.<br /> <br /> - compiling natively on Windoze with cygwin:<br /> You will need to download and run the setup.exe app from cygwin's web site<br /> (www.cygwin.com). You will also need to make sure you install at least the<br /> gcc-g++, gcc-mingw, mingw-runtime and win32-api packages.<br /> <br /> - compiling natively on Windoze with MSYS+MINGW:<br /> You will need to download and install the latest MSYS, MSYS-DTK and MINGW.<br /> The installation is really easy. Begin with the MSYS auto-installer and once<br /> this is done, extract MINGW into c:\msys\1.0\mingw. You also have to remember<br /> to remove the make utility included with MINGW as it conflicts with the one<br /> from MSYS (just rename or remove c:\msys\1.0\mingw\bin\make.exe).<br /> <br /> http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.9.exe<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe<br /> <br /> Getting the additional libraries<br /> =================================<br /> <br /> VLC depends on other libraries to provide some features like ac3 audio decoding<br /> or mpeg4 video decoding, etc...<br /> <br /> Depending on your needs you will have to compile/install some or all of these<br /> external libraries.<br /> <br /> * They can be found here (source code):<br /> http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/contrib/<br /> <br /> * We also provide a package with all the libraries already compiled so it is<br /> actually really easy to compile a full-featured version of vlc (these compiled<br /> libraries will only work with mingw or cygwin):<br /> http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2<br /> (Check out for more recent versions at the same location). <br /> <br /> All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files<br /> and libraries will be put in /usr/win32). You can do this with the following<br /> command: <br /> <br /> tar xjvf contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2 -C /<br /> <br /> Please note the &quot;-C /&quot;. <br /> <br /> * An automated way of building the contrib libraries is provided in <br /> extra/contrib. It will download, configure and build the libraries.<br /> See the extras/contrib/README for more info.<br /> <br /> A complete list of the libraries on which we depend can be found here:<br /> http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/<br /> <br /> Configuring the build<br /> =====================<br /> <br /> Once you've got all the files you need in place, you need to configure the<br /> build with the `./configure' script.<br /> <br /> I'll assume that you are using the pre-compiled 3rd party libraries I'm<br /> providing and that they are in /usr/win32.<br /> <br /> If you are cross-compiling from Debian, you can use something<br /> along those lines:<br /> <br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \<br /> CPPFLAGS=&quot;-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml&quot; \<br /> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \<br /> CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ \<br /> ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \<br /> --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \<br /> --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> If you are using cygwin, you can build VLC with or without the POSIX<br /> emulation layer.

<p>Aztek: </p> <hr /> <div>Copyed from http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/vlc/INSTALL.win32<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> $Id: INSTALL.win32 15707 2006-05-22 09:42:08Z xtophe $<br /> <br /> INSTALL file for the Windows9x/Me/NT4/2k/XP version of the VLC media player<br /> <br /> <br /> Running VLC<br /> ===========<br /> <br /> If you have already built VLC (see below) or are using a binary release,<br /> just run 'vlc.exe'.<br /> <br /> You can also run VLC from a dos command box, in which case you'll be able<br /> to use the command line arguments. You can obtain a list of these command<br /> line arguments by typing 'vlc --help' or 'vlc --help --advanced'.<br /> <br /> To store a debug log of the current VLC session, you can use<br /> 'vlc -vv --extraintf=logger'. You will end-up with a vlc-log.txt file in<br /> your current directory.<br /> <br /> Additional documentation is available at http://www.videolan.org/doc/<br /> <br /> <br /> Building VLC from the source code<br /> =================================<br /> <br /> If you want to build VLC from sources, you can do it in several ways:<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using cygwin (www.cygwin.com) with or without the<br /> POSIX emulation layer. This is the preferred way to compile vlc if you want<br /> to do it on Windows.<br /> NOTE: This is the PREFERRED way of building VLC natively (the others<br /> are not as much tested so expect more difficulties with them).<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using MSYS+MINGW (www.mingw.org)<br /> (MSYS is a minimal build environment to compile Unixish projects under<br /> windoze. It provides all the common Unix tools like sh, gmake...)<br /> Please note that the gettext utilities are not included in the default<br /> MSYS/MINGW packages so you won't be able to build VLC with i18n support.<br /> <br /> - natively on Windows, using Microsoft Visual C++. Even though we provide some<br /> msvc project files with vlc, this method is advised only if you just want to<br /> experiment/play with some basic functionality in vlc. The reason for this<br /> is that vlc depends on a lot of 3rd party libraries and building them in<br /> MSVC is not convenient and sometimes even impossible.<br /> ( NOTE: if you want to run vlc under the msvc debugger, you need to run it<br /> with the --fast-mutex --win9x-cv-method=1 options because the debugger<br /> usually loses signals sent by PulseEvent() )<br /> <br /> - or on GNU/Linux, using the mingw32 cross-compiler.<br /> <br /> Getting the right compiler tools<br /> ================================<br /> <br /> - cross-compiling with mingw32:<br /> You first need to download a GNU/Linux cross-compiler version of mingw32.<br /> <br /> For Debian GNU/Linux users, you can use the mingw32, mingw32-binutils and<br /> mingw32-runtime packages.<br /> <br /> - compiling natively on Windoze with cygwin:<br /> You will need to download and run the setup.exe app from cygwin's web site<br /> (www.cygwin.com). You will also need to make sure you install at least the<br /> gcc-g++, gcc-mingw, mingw-runtime and win32-api packages.<br /> <br /> - compiling natively on Windoze with MSYS+MINGW:<br /> You will need to download and install the latest MSYS, MSYS-DTK and MINGW.<br /> The installation is really easy. Begin with the MSYS auto-installer and once<br /> this is done, extract MINGW into c:\msys\1.0\mingw. You also have to remember<br /> to remove the make utility included with MINGW as it conflicts with the one<br /> from MSYS (just rename or remove c:\msys\1.0\mingw\bin\make.exe).<br /> <br /> http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.9.exe<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe<br /> http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe<br /> <br /> Getting the additional libraries<br /> =================================<br /> <br /> VLC depends on other libraries to provide some features like ac3 audio decoding<br /> or mpeg4 video decoding, etc...<br /> <br /> Depending on your needs you will have to compile/install some or all of these<br /> external libraries.<br /> <br /> * They can be found here (source code):<br /> http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/contrib/<br /> <br /> * We also provide a package with all the libraries already compiled so it is<br /> actually really easy to compile a full-featured version of vlc (these compiled<br /> libraries will only work with mingw or cygwin):<br /> http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2<br /> (Check out for more recent versions at the same location). <br /> <br /> All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files<br /> and libraries will be put in /usr/win32). You can do this with the following<br /> command: <br /> <br /> tar xjvf contrib-20060330-win32-bin-gcc-3.4.5-only.tar.bz2 -C /<br /> <br /> Please note the &quot;-C /&quot;. <br /> <br /> * An automated way of building the contrib libraries is provided in <br /> extra/contrib. It will download, configure and build the libraries.<br /> See the extras/contrib/README for more info.<br /> <br /> A complete list of the libraries on which we depend can be found here:<br /> http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/<br /> <br /> Configuring the build<br /> =====================<br /> <br /> Once you've got all the files you need in place, you need to configure the<br /> build with the `./configure' script.<br /> <br /> I'll assume that you are using the pre-compiled 3rd party libraries I'm<br /> providing and that they are in /usr/win32.<br /> <br /> If you are cross-compiling from Debian, you can use something<br /> along those lines:<br /> <br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \<br /> CPPFLAGS=&quot;-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml&quot; \<br /> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \<br /> CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ \<br /> ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \<br /> --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \<br /> --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> If you are using cygwin, you can build VLC with or without the POSIX<br /> emulation layer. Without is usually better and with POSIX emulation<br /> hasn't been tested in about a year or so. So to build without the<br /> emulation layer, use something like this:<br /> <br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \<br /> CPPFLAGS=&quot;-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml&quot; \<br /> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \<br /> CC=&quot;gcc -mno-cygwin&quot; CXX=&quot;g++ -mno-cygwin&quot; \<br /> ./configure \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \<br /> --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \<br /> --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> If you want to use the emulation layer, then just omit the CC=&quot;gcc -mno-cygwin&quot;<br /> CXX=&quot;g++ -mno-cygwin&quot; line. You're on your own though.<br /> <br /> If you are compiling with MSYS/MINGW, then you can use something along those<br /> lines:<br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \<br /> CPPFLAGS=&quot;-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml&quot; \<br /> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \<br /> ./configure \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \<br /> --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --disable-mkv \<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> If you have used the &quot;extras/contrib&quot; way, you don't need to precise <br /> the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and --with-foo-config-path=.<br /> ./bootstrap &amp;&amp; \<br /> ./configure \<br /> --disable-gtk \<br /> --enable-nls --enable-sdl \<br /> --enable-ffmpeg --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \<br /> --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \<br /> --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \<br /> --enable-mkv --enable-caca --enable-live555\<br /> --enable-debug<br /> <br /> <br /> See `./configure --help' for more information.<br /> <br /> Actually Compiling the VLC source<br /> =================================<br /> <br /> Once configured, to build VLC, just run `make'.<br /> <br /> Once the compilation is done, you can either run VLC directly from the source<br /> tree or you can build self-contained VLC packages with the following<br /> 'make' rules:<br /> <br /> make package-win32-base<br /> will create a subdirectory named vlc-x.x.x with all the binaries<br /> 'stripped' (ie. without any debugging symbols).<br /> <br /> make package-win32-zip<br /> Same as above but will package the directory in a zip file.<br /> <br /> make package-win32<br /> Same as above but will also create an auto-installer package.
