This page will help you compile '''VLC for WinRT'''

==Development Environment==

To develop VLC for WinRT, you would need to have:
* Windows 8.1
* Visual Studio 2013 with Update 2 (or Update 3)
* Windows 8.1 SDK (Recommended)
* Latest version of Git
* Lots of patience :D

==Get the source==

You can clone the VLC for WinRT git repository

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc-ports/winrt.git

==Get libVLC source==

====Packaged 7zip file====
You can download vlc.7z from [http://people.videolan.org/~hugo/vlc-Win32.7z here]. Extract the contents of vlc.7z and copy the contents to vlc folder of winrt source code

====Cross Compiling====
If you feel adventurous, you can try cross-compiling libVLC for WinRT. Refer to the [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-ports/winrt.git;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=HEAD README] file in the source folder for more information

==Build and Deploy==
* Open the VLC_WinRT solution in app/VLC_WINRT.sln
* Open Package.appxmanifest, and generate a test certificate. More information can be found in the [http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-ports/winrt.git;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=HEAD README] file in the source folder
* Click on Build Solution and then Deploy

==Additional Notes==
* If building fails with lots of errors referring to Windows SDK headers, installing Windows 8.1 SDK usually helps
* It helps to right click the specific project (eg: Windows 8.1 project ) and then click deploy rather than trying to deploy the whole solution

Diegofn: /* PATH */

== Pre-requisites ==
=== Apple ===
* You need at least MacOSX 10.5.<br />'''10.6''' is recommended, though.
* '''Developer Tools from Apple''' from http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html<br />Xcode 3 and Xcode4 should be fine.

Check that the LLVM GCC 4.2 compiler is installed:
$ gcc --version

=== Git ===
You need to get [http://git-scm.com/ Git] to clone VLC.

You can use [http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ homebrew] as:
$ brew install git

=== PATH ===
'''Pay careful attention to remove any reference to 3rd party package managersfrom your environment.'''
This is important to avoid conflicts between your package manager (homebrew, fink, macports...) and the contrib package manager we use to build our contrib.

'''git must still be accessible though!'''
$ unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
$ unset PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
$ export PATH=$PWD/build/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

== [[GetTheSource|Get the source code]] ==

$ git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

== Additional development tools ==

You need all the autoconf tools to build it correctly.

This is automated for you:

$ cd vlc/extras/tools
$ ./bootstrap
$ make

== SDK selection and 32/64 bits ==

=== SDK selection===
If you want to use the 10.6 SDK (your VLC will only run on 10.6 and more recent computers):
$ export OSX_VERSION=10.6

You can do the same for '''10.5''', but please check that you have it installed in /Developers/ .

=== 32/64bits selection ===
The instructions below will build a 64 bits binary using 10.6 (Leopard) SDK.
This is reflected by using host and build variables '''x86_64-apple-darwin10'''.

This "triplet" is ARCHITECTURE-apple-SYSTEM.

* <code>x86_64</code> represents Intel 64bits.
* <code>i686</code> represents Intel 32bits.
* <code>powerpc</code> represents PowerPC 32bits.

* <code>darwin9</code> represents MacOSX 10.5.
* <code>darwin10</code> represents MacOSX 10.6 and more recent.

* So to make a PowerPC build, you would use '''powerpc-apple-darwin9'''.

== Prepare[[Contrib_Status| 3rd party libraries]] ==

Before compiling VLC, you need lots of other libraries. Here is how to get them:

$ cd ../../contrib
$ mkdir -p osx && cd osx
$ ../bootstrap --host=x86_64-apple-darwin10 --build=x86_64-apple-darwin10
If you want to download a prebuilt package of all the needed libraries.
$ make prebuilt
If prebuilt package for your host does not exist, or if you want to build from source
$ make -j4 .gettext && make -j4
If you had no errors, the 3rd party libraries (contrib) are built correctly and you can proceed to the next step.

== Bootstrap ==
This will create the configure script.

$ cd ../..
$ ./bootstrap

== Configure the build ==
Create a build folder:
$ mkdir -p build && cd build
To list the different options of configure:
$ ../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --help
To build a 64 bits binary:
$ ../extras/package/macosx/configure.sh --enable-debug --host=x86_64-apple-darwin10 --build=x86_64-apple-darwin10

== Build ==

$ make -j4

== Package ==
If you want to share the application with another user or another computer:
$ make VLC-release.app

If you want a disk-image:
$ make package-macosx
Respectively <code>make package-macosx-plugin</code> for the Safari/Mozilla plugin.

== What's wrong, if I don't succeed? ==
Starting with Leopard, Xcode may be installed to a custom location on the administrator's choice. While this is non-problematic for ordinary Xcode projects, VLC needs a little help. You have to place extra symbolic links in /Developer pointing to your custom location for these folders:

<code>usr, Headers, Private, SDKs, Tools, Makefiles</code>

You can easily create these links by executing the following command for each folder (whereas theFolder is one of these six):

<code>ln -s /full/path/to/Developer/theFolder /Developer/theFolder</code>

'''Additionally, make always sure that you are using the latest version of Xcode.'''
