LibVLC

Rsatom: /* Language & platform bindings */

{{Lowercase}}
The [[libVLC]] (VLC SDK) media framework can be embedded into an application to get multimedia capabilities.

Since VLC is based on [[libVLC]], one should be able to have the same features that {{VLC}} has.

The libVLC media framework is already used by several applications; see [[LibVLC_Users|who uses libVLC?]]

== Documentation ==

Please refer to the [http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/group__libvlc.html Doxygen documentation], which is the reference documentation.

''Make sure that the documentation matches the LibVLC version.'' (if not, you can build it from the source code)

Some further topics are covered here:

* [[LibVLC_Memory_Management| LibVLC Memory Management]] explained: covers the basics on the _new(), _retain(), _release().
* [[LibVLC_Media_List_Management| LibVLC Media List Management]] explained: covers the basics on setting up a playlist.
* [[GenerateLibFromDll|Generate a .lib for using libVLC on Windows]] (before libVLC 2.1.0)

== Compiling ==
To build LibVLC you need [[GetTheSource|VLC source code]] and follow [[Compile_VLC|VLC compilation instructions]] since LibVLC it is directly shipped in VLC source code. 
You will find headers in vlc-src/include/vlc and libvlc.so binaries in the ''hidden'' folder vlc-src/lib/.libs. 
When using your custom LibVLC build you will need to define the environment variable VLC_PLUGIN_PATH pointing to VLC modules located in vlc-src/modules.

Rsatom: /* Language & platform bindings */

{{Lowercase}}
The [[libVLC]] (VLC SDK) media framework can be embedded into an application to get multimedia capabilities.

Since VLC is based on [[libVLC]], one should be able to have the same features that {{VLC}} has.

The libVLC media framework is already used by several applications; see [[LibVLC_Users|who uses libVLC?]]

Win32CompileMSYS

2013-08-31T01:54:17Z

Rsatom: /* Git */

= Introduction =
== About ==
MSys is a helper environment for MinGW, the compiler chain for Windows based on GCC.

It can build VLC natively on Windows. Note that you should probably [[Win32Compile|cross compile]] VLC from Linux, because it is faster, and feels easier.

VLC is a complex program with many dependencies, so minimal command-line experience is required. Also, don't be in a hurry (4 hours is a minimum for the whole process) and don't despair if it doesn't work first time.

This howto '''ONLY''' works for VLC '''2.1.x'''!

Advanced users only: If you want to make your own MSYS environment, please use [[Win32CompileMSYSNew]]. If you don't understand this message, it is best to ignore this.

= Windows tools =
== Text editor ==
To edit unix-style text documents you need a suitable editor. Notepad is not enough.

* Use [http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad2/ notepad2]. You can set File - Line endings - Default to "Unix (LF)", but it always saves opened files in the ending style they have.

* Or use [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ notepad++].

== Unzip Utility (7-zip) ==
Files to downloaded will have to be uncompressed. Some of them use Unix originated formats (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.lzma), you will then need a versatile unzipping utility.

A recent version of [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip] is therefore strongly advised.

= Prepare GNU on Windows =
Before installing, ensure your Windows user name does not contain spaces (VLC will not build in a folder with spaces in it). If it does, please create another user on your system.

In the following text, we'll refer to this user name as "<username>". Replace it appropriately where needed of course.

== MinGW ==
=== TDM/MinGW Setup ===

Use the installer found at <strike>http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%20Installer/tdm-gcc-4.7.1-2.exe/download</strike>http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%20Installer/Previous/1.1006.0/tdm64-gcc-4.6.1.exe/download

Go through the wizard:
* Disable "Check for updated files on the TDM-GCC server"
* Select "Create"
* Install to C:\MinGW
* Keep default settings

== MSys ==
Use the MSys package found at http://people.videolan.org/~jb/msys/msys.7z

Un-7zip it to '''C:\MinGW\msys\'''.

The build is made exclusively from the command line, so execute '''C:\MinGW\msys\msys.bat''', then type the commands as mentioned.

= Get VLC sources =

== Git ==
Clone the git repo
cd ~
git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

= Get configuration tools =
cd vlc/extras/tools
./bootstrap
make

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/vlc/extras/tools/build/bin/

It should build ''autoconf, automake, libtool, pkg-config, cmake, yasm'' and ''ragel''.

'''Note:''' Ragel compilation can fail with gcc 4.7, ignore it. 
'''Note:''' check that all is well with autoconf --version

= Get precompiled 3rd party libraries =
cd vlc/contrib
mkdir win32 && cd win32
../bootstrap --build=i586-mingw32msvc
make prebuilt
cd ..
ln -sf i586-mingw32msvc mingw32

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/vlc/contrib/mingw32/bin/
rm $HOME/vlc/contrib/mingw32/bin/moc $HOME/vlc/contrib/mingw32/bin/uic $HOME/vlc/contrib/mingw32/bin/rcc
'''Note:''' check that all is well with moc -v

= Build VLC =

== Bootstrap ==
In VLC root folder, do:
./bootstrap

== Configure ==
mkdir win32
cd win32
sh ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh --host=i586-pc-mingw32msvc --disable-nls

'''Note:''' If you want any custom options, like "--disable-lua" or anything of that nature, you can append them.

== Make (compile) ==
make -j4

'''Note:''' If your <username> starts with the "u" or "x" character, change C:\MSys\1.0\home\<username>\config.h and double all backslashes in VLC_COMPILED_BY constant.

= Create packages =

Once the compilation is done, build self-contained VLC packages with one of the following "make" commands:

make package-win-common

(This will create a subdirectory named vlc-x.x.x with all the binaries "stripped" without any debugging symbols).

make package-win32-zip

(Same as above but will package the directory in a zip file).

make package-win32-exe

(Same as above but will also create an auto-installer package. You will need to have NSIS installed in its default location for this to work).

make package-win32-base-debug

(This will create a subdirectory named vlc-x.x.x with all the binaries containing debug info usable by gdb).

= Troubleshooting =
