This page lists the directories in the source tree of VLC to give an overview of the code. Because VLC has evolved with not so much accumulation in mind, when a new coder looks at the code, s/he is terrified by the abundance of directories. This page was prepared to remedy that situation.
The directories are listed in alphabetical order, with an overview of their contents on the right.
| Directory Name | Directory Explanation |
|---|---|
| bindings | Java, CIL and Python bindings |
| doc | Documentation (not up-to-date) |
| extras | See the table on this same page |
| include | Header files for vlc |
| libs | Containts the loader (win32 dmo codec loading on Linux) and a SRTP library |
| lxdialog | Make menuconfig files |
| m4 | Macro files needed for automake and autoconf |
| modules | The most important directory with src/. See Modules source tree. |
| po | i18n files |
| projects | Projects based on libvlc, Mozilla plugin, ActiveX plugin and MacOS FrameWork |
| share | icons, scripts to make VLC the default player etc. |
| src | The most important directory with modules/. See src source tree |
| test | scripts to see if everything is OK |
| extras/analyser | contains some code style editor (vim, emacs) macro and some vlagrind suppressions |
| extras/buildsystem | contains alternative buildsystems |
| extras/contrib | for required libraries (contains Makefiles to automatically download and compile (or cross-compile) and patch those. Please first attempt to get the development headers precompiled for your distribution. |
| extras/deprecated | contains deprecated files |
| extras/misc | contains files that don't fit in the other categories |
| extras/package | contains distribution specific files such as ipkg, different rpm spec files, win32 and Mac OS X installation files. |
