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.
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:
- 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 1.0.10 with the exe: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe
- Install MSys Developer Tooltkit: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
- Update to 1.0.11, untar it in your msys install:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysCORE-1.0.11-2007.01.19-1.tar.bz2 or http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz (recommended on 64bits)
- Update your autoconf, automake and libtool by downloading and installing them.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/autoconf2.5-2.61-1-bin.tar.bz2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/automake1.10-1.10-1-bin.tar.bz2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libtool1.5-1.5.25a-1-bin.tar.bz2
You can also compile them according to: http://wiki.enlightenment.org/index.php/EFL_Windows_XP http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys
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
Download Git on http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
Launch Git bash:
cd /c mkdir VLC cd VLC git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git
launch MSys again cd /c/VLC/vlc
GCrypt
You need gcrypt to bootstrap VLC. It might be stupid, but deal with it.
cd extras/contrib ./bootstrap cd src make .gcrypt
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.
Bootstrap VLC
This is a HACK. Don't do this at HOME. cp extras/contrib/share/aclocal/* m4/ cp /usr/share/aclocal/* m4/ ./bootstrap It should warn about gettext... Just ignore.
Contribs
Take the precompiled contribs: http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs/contrib-20090219-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2
Copy them in your ~
tar xvjf contrib-20090219-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2 -C / rm /usr/win32/bin/moc /usr/win32/bin/uic /usr/win32/bin/rcc
Configure
vim extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh
Change CC to gcc and CXX to g++, I recommend to --disable-nls too
sh extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh
Compile
make
