Building VLC from the source code
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
If you want to build VLC from sources, you can do it in several ways:
|
|
|
|
- On GNU/Linux, using the wince gcc cross-compiler.
|
|
(Right now we only provide an ARM version of the cross-compiler)
|
|
|
|
- Natively on Windows, using Microsoft Embedded Visual C++.
|
|
Even though we provide some evc project files with vlc, this method is
|
|
advised only if you just want to experiment/play with some basic
|
|
functionality in vlc. The reason for this is that vlc depends on a lot of
|
|
3rd party libraries and building them in EVC is not convenient and
|
|
sometimes even impossible.
|
|
|
|
Getting the right compiler tools
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
You will need to download our wince gcc cross-compiler package:
|
|
http://www.videolan.org/pub/testing/wince/wince-arm-gcc4.0.0-cvs-linux-crosscompiler-20050517.tar.bz2.
|
|
Extract this package in your root directory (everything will be extracted in
|
|
/usr/local/wince/cross-tools).
|
|
|
|
The source code for this cross-compiler in also available at the same location.
|
|
|
|
Getting the additional libraries
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
VLC depends on other libraries to provide some features like ac3 audio decoding
|
|
or mpeg4 video decoding, etc...
|
|
|
|
Depending on your needs you will have to compile/install some or all of these
|
|
external libraries.
|
|
|
|
They can be found here (source code):
|
|
http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/contrib/
|
|
|
|
We also provide a package with all the libraries already compiled so it is
|
|
actually really easy to compile a full-featured version of vlc:
|
|
http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/wince/contrib-20050220-wince-xscale-bin.tar.bz2 (Check out fo more recent versions at the same location).
|
|
|
|
All you need to do is extract it in your root directory (the include files
|
|
and libraries will be put in /usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale).
|
|
You can do this with the following command:
|
|
|
|
tar xjvf contrib-20050220-wince-xscale-bin.tar.bz2 -C /
|
|
|
|
Please note the "-C /".
|
|
|
|
A complete list of the libraries on which we depend can be found here:
|
|
http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/
|
|
|
|
Configuring the build
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Once you've got all the files you need in place, you need to configure the
|
|
build with the `./configure' script.
|
|
|
|
I'll assume that you are using the pre-compiled 3rd party libraries I'm
|
|
providing and that they are in /usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale.
|
|
|
|
Use something along those lines:
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap &&
|
|
PATH=/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin:$PATH \
|
|
CFLAGS="-D__stdcall= -D_OFF_T_ -I/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/include" \
|
|
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I/usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale/include" \
|
|
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/lib" \
|
|
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/wince/contrib-xscale/lib" \
|
|
CC="arm-wince-pe-gcc -mcpu=xscale" \
|
|
../configure --host=arm-wince-pe --target=arm-wince-pe \
|
|
--build=i686-linux --prefix=/usr/local/wince \
|
|
--disable-sdl --disable-gtk --disable-dvdnav --disable-dvdread \
|
|
--disable-nls --disable-sout --disable-vlm --disable-wxwindows \
|
|
--disable-a52 --disable-libmpeg2 --disable-freetype --disable-fribidi \
|
|
--disable-mad --disable-plugins --enable-optimize-memory \
|
|
--with-freetype-config-path=/usr/local/wince-xscale/bin \
|
|
--with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/local/wince-xscale/bin \
|
|
--enable-tremor --enable-faad
|
|
|
|
See `./configure --help' for more information.
|
|
|
|
Actually Compiling the VLC source
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Once configured, to build VLC, just run:
|
|
PATH=/usr/local/wince/cross-tools/bin:$PATH make
|
|
|
|
Once the compilation is done, you can build self-contained VLC packages with
|
|
the following 'make' rules:
|
|
|
|
make package-win32-base
|
|
will create a subdirectory named vlc-x.x.x with all the binaries
|
|
'stripped' (ie. without any debugging symbols).
|
|
|
|
make package-win32-zip
|
|
Same as above but will package the directory in a zip file.
|
|
|
|
Well done, now you're ready to use VLC!
