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 [[1]].
Compiling VLCTo compile VLC, you first need to get the Source Code.

Joining usVideoLAN welcomes anyone wanting to help, either by writing code, finding or fixing bugs, starting or updating translations, doing graphics work, ... Getting startedGetting 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. 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. It is recommended that you join the vlc-devel mailing list, where all commits are archived. |
