MSYS/MinGW environment for Windows from http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/msys-compile.txt
Contents
Introduction
MSYS/MinGW environment
Setting up a working MSYS/MinGW environment requires the following:
- MSYS installation
- Updating MSYS
- MSYS DTK (Developer Tool Kit)
- Updating bash (shell)
- MinGW installation
- Configuration of fstab
- Creation of home folder
Note that the following generic resource locations were used to download the appropriate packages (and more recent versions might be obtained from here):
Minimal SYStem (MSYS) installation
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe
Perform a basic installation into C:\msys
Do not continue with the post install (this will be done later).
Update MSYS
Update MSYS to a more recent version
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11-20060807.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file, it contains the following files:
mount.exe msys-1.0.dll ps.exe
Copy the files to:
C:\msys\bin
This will overwrite/update the version(s) used in MSYS.
MSYS DTK (Developer Tool Kit)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
Perform a basic installation into C:\msys
Updating BASH
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/bash-3.1-MSYS-1.0.11-snapshot.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file, in the bin subfolder it contains the following files:
bash.exe sh.exe
Copy the files to:
C:\msys\bin
This will overwrite/update the sh.exe version used in MSYS
MinGW
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-5.0.3.exe
Select the download option.
Do not install with "Current" MinGW packages but select "Candidate".
Select the following components to install:
MinGW base tools (autoselected) g++ compiler
Then installation will finish downloading automatically.
Run MinGW-5.0.3.exe again and select the download and install option to restart the installation.
Selet "Candidate" still and select the same components to install.
Perform the installation into the default destination:
C:\msys\mingw
The following versions (or possibly newer) of the candidate packages will be downloaded and installed:
mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz w32api-3.7.tar.gz binutils-2.16.91-20060119-1.tar.gz gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz
(It is also possible to get these packages seperately and extract them to C:\msys\mingw)
Configuring fstab
The folder C:\msys\etc contains the following file:
fstab.sample
Copy the file to:
fstab
Open the file with a text editor and change the path value for the mingw mount point from:
c:/mingw to c:/msys/mingw
Save the file.
Starting MSYS
The first time MSYS is started, a "home" folder is created, for example:
C:\msys\home\Administrator
Installing additional packages
The following packages are required for building VLC
- Wget
- Iconv
- Gettext
- MinGW utils
- Libtool
- Autoconf
- Automake
- Zip
- Coreutils
WGet
Wget is required for building from the "extras/contrib" or mingwPORT packages.
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 the following file in the bin subfolder:
wget.exe
Copy the file to:
C:\msys\mingw\bin
Iconv (GNU libiconv)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libiconv-1.8.0-2003.02.01-1.exe
Perform a basic installation into the default destination Folder
C:\msys\mingw
Updating Iconv
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libiconv-1.10-mingwPORT.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file. Copy the contents into your home folder in MSYS
C:\msys\home\Administrator (example)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
cd libiconv-1.10-mingwPORT/libiconv-1.10/mingwPORT
mkdir -p /usr/src/libiconv-1.10
./mingwPORT.sh
Follow the default installation.
If all went well all the appropriate libraries should be installed/built and placed into c:/msys/mingw/lib.
NOTE: For some unknown reason usage of Iconv fails when 1.10 is installed directly without having installed 1.8.0.
Gettext
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gettext-0.16.1-1-bin.tar.bz2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gettext-0.16.1-1-dll.tar.bz2
Untar both of these packets and copy the files in the subdirectories under gettext-0.16.1-1-bin/usr/local and gettext-0.16.1-1-dll/usr/local to the corresponding subdirectories under C:\msys\mingw. For example:
copy gettext-0.16.1-1-bin/usr/local/lib/*.* to C:\msys\mingw\lib\
copy gettext-0.16.1-1-dll/usr/local/bin/*.* to C:\msys\mingw\bin\
......................................................
Note:
The latest VLC from svn requires gettext-0.16.xx to build.
MinGW Utils
The unix2dos tool from this package is required during the "make package" process of VLC for some conversion of txt files.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz
Extract the .tar.gz file. it contains the following file in the bin subfolder:
unix2dos.exe
Copy the file to:
C:\msys\mingw\bin
Libtool
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libtool-1.5.22-mingwPORT.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file. Copy the contents into your home folder in MSYS
C:\msys\home\Administrator (example)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
cd libtool-1.5.22-mingwPORT/libtool-1.5.22/mingwPORT
mkdir -p /usr/src/libtool-1.5.22
./mingwPORT.sh
Follow the default installation.
If all went well all the appropriate libraries should be installed/built and placed into c:/msys/mingw/lib.
Autoconf
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/autoconf-2.59-mingwPORT.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file. Copy the contents into your home folder in MSYS
C:\msys\home\Administrator (example)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
cd autoconf-2.59-mingwPORT/autoconf-2.59/mingwPORT
mkdir -p /usr/src/autoconf-2.59
./mingwPORT.sh
Follow the default installation.
If all went well all the appropriate libraries should be installed/built and placed into c:/msys/mingw/lib.
Updating autoconf from contrib
VLC 0.8.6 and later (including 0.9.0 svn/development) require an autoconf version of 2.60 or greater.
If during the configure process the following msg appears it's time to update:
"Hey, your autoconf is quite old. Update it".
Open your MSYS shell:
cd vlc-trunk/extras/contrib
./bootstrap
cd src
make .autoconf
Automake
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/automake-1.9.5-mingwPORT.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file. Copy the contents into your home folder in MSYS
C:\msys\home\Administrator (example)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
cd automake-1.9.5-mingwPORT/automake-1.9.5/mingwPORT
mkdir -p /usr/src/automake-1.9.5
./mingwPORT.sh
Follow the default installation.
If all went well all the appropriate libraries should be installed/built and placed into c:/msys/mingw/lib.
Zip
Zip is required for making .zip packages...
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/WIN32/zip232xN.zip
Extract the .zip. It contains the following file in the bin subfolder:
zip.exe
Copy the file to:
C:\msys\bin
Coreutils
The whoami tool from this package is required for "svn builds".
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/coreutils-5.97-MSYS-1.0.11-snapshot.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file. it contains the following file in the bin subfolder:
whoami.exe
Copy the file to:
C:\msys\mingw\bin
Optional packages
GDB (optional)
GDB is used for debugging purposes.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gdb-6.3-2.exe
Perform an installation into the folder
C:\msys\mingw
ZLib (optional)
Zlib is a required package in combination with the Gpac package for .avs and .mp4 output support when building the x264 library.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/zlib-1.2.3-mingwPORT-1.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file. Copy the contents into your home folder in MSYS
C:\msys\home\Administrator (example)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
cd zlib-1.2.3-mingwPORT/zlib-1.2.3/mingwPORT
mkdir -p /usr/src/zlib-1.2.3
./mingwPORT.sh
Follow the default installation.
If all went well all the appropriate libraries should be installed/built and placed into c:/msys/mingw.
Updating SDL from mingwPORT (optional)
SDL support is required when building ffplay from the FFmpeg package.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/SDL-1.2.8-mingwPORT.tar.bz2
Extract the .tar.bz2 file. Copy the contents into your home folder in MSYS
C:\msys\home\SDL-1.2.8-mingwPORT (example)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
cd SDL-1.2.8-minwPORT/SDL-1.2.8/mingwPORT
mkdir -p /usr/src/SDL-1.2.8
./mingwPORT.sh
Follow the default installation.
If all went well all the appropriate libraries should be installed/built and placed into /usr/local/lib.
Updating SDL (optional)
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.11.tar.gz
Extract the .tar.gz file. Copy the contents into your home folder in MSYS
C:\msys\home\SDL-1.2.11 (example)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
cd SDL-1.2.11
./configure
make
make install
If all went well all the appropriate libraries should be installed/built and placed into /usr/local/lib.
Nasm (optional)
The Netwide assembler (nasm) is required for building the x264 library.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6208
Download the latest win32 binaries:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nasm/nasm-0.98.39-win32.zip?download
Extract the .zip. It contains the following file in the bin subfolder:
nasmw.exe
Rename the file to nasm.exe and copy it to the following location:
C:\msys\mingw\bin
GPAC (optional)
GPAC is required for building the x264 library with mp4 output support.
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@gpac.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gpac co -P gpac
This will download the latest GPAC version from CVS.
cd gpac
./configure
make install-lib
TODO: copy GPAC files to appropriate folder automagically.
x264 (optional)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
svn co svn://svn.videolan.org/x264/trunk x264-trunk
cd x264-trunk
For generic purposes:
./configure
make
For VLC:
./configure --prefix=/usr/win32
make
make install
This will copy the appropriate libs and .h to the prefix folder which will also be used by VLC for building the contrib
For compiling "stand-alone with mp4 output support" (this requires GPAC):
./configure --enable-mp4-output
make
If you wish to compile FFmpeg stand-alone with x264 support then also do this
make install
This will copy the appropriate libs and .h files to the default /usr/lib and /usr/include
FFmpeg (optional)
Start the MSYS shell and do the following commands:
svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg-trunk
cd ffmpeg-trunk
For generic purposes:
./configure --enable-mingw32 --enable-memalign-hack \ --enable-gpl --enable-pp
make
For compiling with x264 support:
(This assumes you did a "make install" for x264 which will have copied the appropriate lib and .h files into lib/include).
./configure --enable-mingw32 --enable-memalign-hack \ --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/include \ --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib \ --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-x264
make
For compiling into VLC:
(This does not need x264 lib in FFmpeg since VLC uses that directly, also prefix and extra flags are used to point to the "contrib" folder):
./configure --enable-mingw32 --enable-memalign-hack \ --extra-cflags=-I/usr/win32/include \ --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/win32/lib \ --prefix=/usr/win32 \ --enable-faac --enable-mp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-pp
make
make install-libs install-headers
This will copy all the appropriate libs and .h files into usr/win32/include and lib so they can be used by VLC compilation.
FAQ
Various troubleshooting issues..
Make .qt4 from extras/contrib
Fails on:
checking for libmpeg2.a in /home/Administrator/vlc-trunk/./extras/contrib/src/mpeg2dec... no configure: error: cannot cd to /home/Administrator/vlc-trunk/./extras/contrib/src/mpeg2dec
Workaround: configure with
--without-contrib
Make package-win32-zip
Fails on:
sed -i 's%share/osdmenu%osdmenu%g' ./vlc-0.9.0-svn/osdmenu/*.cfg sed: invalid option -- i
Workaround: compile sed 4.09 (any newer versions fail to compile on missing alloca)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/sed/sed-4.0.9.tar.gz
use the newer sed version in c:\msys\mingw\bin and rename the old one to sed3.exe or something
ONLY use the 4.09 sed to do a make package-win32-zip, it will fail to compile VLC source (so after it finishes, you have to copy the old version back again).
So in conclusion:
make package-win32-zip fails with sed 3.02 on -i make autoconf fails with sed 4.09 on -E sed 4.10+ requires glib glib requires pkgconfig but pkgconfig requires glib?!
