INSTALL file for the Windows9x/2k version of vlc, the VideoLAN Client
|
|
|
|
Running VideoLAN
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
If you have already built vlc (see below) or are using a binary release,
|
|
just run 'vlc.exe'.
|
|
|
|
You can also run vlc from a dos command box, in which case you'll be able
|
|
to use the command line arguments. You can obtain a list of these command
|
|
line arguments by typing 'vlc --help'.
|
|
It is also sometimes useful to display vlc's debug console. You can do so
|
|
by running 'vlc -v'.
|
|
To store a debug log of the current vlc session, you can use
|
|
'vlc -vvv --stdout=debug.txt'.
|
|
|
|
If you want to play a DVD, run vlc and click on the Disc option in the
|
|
interface. You then have to type your drive letter in the 'Device name'
|
|
box (eg. 'D:' if your dvdrom drive is assigned the letter 'D').
|
|
(Warning: you have to be in administrator mode (for now) on Win2k)
|
|

Building VideoLAN from source code
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
If you want to do the tricky job of building vlc from source, follow
|
|
these instructions:
|
|
( WARNING: the win32 build process is not yet really stable, so you may have
|
|
to hack manually the MAKEFILES )
|
|
|
|
Getting the right tools
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
You can build the win32 vlc port in two ways:
|
|
- natively on Windows
|
|
- or on Linux, using cross-compiling
|
|
|
|
All these tools can be found on the libSDL web page:
|
|
http://www.libsdl.org/Xmingw32/
|
|
|
|
Configuring VideoLAN
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
A typical way to configure vlc is:
|
|
|
|
./configure --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-dsp --without-sdl \
|
|
--with-directx=/usr/local/cross-compile/i386-mingw32msvc
|
|
|
|
See `./configure --help' for more information.
|
|
|
|
To cross-compile for the Win32 platform using mingw32:
|
|
|
|
make distclean ; CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CFLAGS=-I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc \
|
|
RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib WINDRES=i586-mingw32msvc-windres \
|
|
./configure --host=i386-mingw32msvc \
|
|
--target=i386-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux --disable-dsp \
|
|
--disable-x11 --disable-xvideo
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building VideoLAN
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the generated Makefile.opts file, you may want to choose
|
|
which modules will be compiled as plugins, and which ones will remain in
|
|
the core application. The configure script tries to guess for you.
|
|
|
|
Once configured, run `make' to build vlc.
