Introduction
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.
This howto was re-created by Jean-Baptiste Kempf and updated in June 2009.
Install MinGW
Use the main installer 5.1.4 found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=240780
Use the candidate release, and select gcc, g++ and MinGW make. It should download automatically:
- mingwrt-3.15
- w32api-3.12
- binutils-2.18
- gcc-core-3.4.5
- gcc-g++-3.4.5
- mingw32-make-3.81
Install MSYS
- Install MSys 1.0.11-rc1 with the exe: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=2435&filename=MSYS-1.0.11.exe
- Install MSys Developer Tooltkit: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
AutoTools
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
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20autoconf/autoconf-2.63-1/autoconf-2.63-1-msys-1.0.11-bin.tar.lzma/download
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20automake/automake-1.11-1/automake-1.11-1-msys-1.0.11-bin.tar.lzma/download
- 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
You can also compile them according to:
Install other tools
Installing mingw-utils is recommended: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz
Installation of wget too: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/wget-1.9.1-mingwPORT.tar.bz2
Although this is a mingwPORT package it already has a precompiled wget on board. Extract the .tar.bz2 file. It contains wget.exe in the bin subfolder, extract it to mingw/bin.
Install Git and checkout VLC
See Git_Windows.
PKG-CONFIG
pkg-config is a mess, this is not NEWS... And you cannot compile it from Windows because of a few bugs...
Get Glib from GNOME: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/glib/2.18/glib_2.18.2-1_win32.zip Unzip it.
Get PKG-CONFIG from GNOME: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config-0.23-2.zip Unzip it too.
Contribs
Take the precompiled contribs:
ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/vlc/1.0.0/win32/contrib-1.0.0.tar.bz2
Copy them in your ~
tar xvjf contrib-1.0.0.tar.bz2 -C / rm /usr/win32/bin/moc /usr/win32/bin/uic /usr/win32/bin/rcc
Bootstrap VLC
cp /usr/win32/share/aclocal/* m4/ cp /usr/share/aclocal/* m4/ PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH ./bootstrap
It should warn about gettext... Just ignore.
Configure
sh extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh
Compile
PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH make
