- INSTALL file for the Windows9x/Me/NT4/2k/XP version of the VLC media player
- Running VLC
- ===========
- 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' or 'vlc --help --advanced'.
- To store a debug log of the current VLC session, you can use
- 'vlc -vv --extraintf=logger'. You will end-up with a vlc-log.txt file in
- your current directory.
- Additional documentation is available at http://www.videolan.org/doc/
- Building VLC from the source code
- =================================
- If you want to build VLC from sources, you can do it in several ways:
- - natively on Windows, using cygwin (www.cygwin.com) with or without the
- POSIX emulation layer. This is the preferred way to compile vlc if you want
- to do it on Windows.
- NOTE: This is the PREFERRED way of building VLC natively (the others
- are not as much tested so expect more difficulties with them).
- - natively on Windows, using MSYS+MINGW (www.mingw.org)
- (MSYS is a minimal build environment to compile Unixish projects under
- windoze. It provides all the common Unix tools like sh, gmake...)
- Please note that the gettext utilities are not included in the default
- MSYS/MINGW packages so you won't be able to build VLC with i18n support.
- - natively on Windows, using Microsoft Visual C++. Even though we provide some
- msvc 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
- MSVC is not convenient and sometimes even impossible.
- ( NOTE: if you want to run vlc under the msvc debugger, you need to run it
- with the --fast-mutex --win9x-cv-method=1 options because the debugger
- usually loses signals sent by PulseEvent() )
- - or on GNU/Linux, using the mingw32 cross-compiler.
- Getting the right compiler tools
- ================================
- - cross-compiling with mingw32:
- You first need to download a GNU/Linux cross-compiler version of mingw32.
- For Debian GNU/Linux users, you can use the mingw32, mingw32-binutils and
- mingw32-runtime packages.
- Or you can use our mingw32 gcc-3.3.1 cross-compiler package:
- http://www.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.bz2 (requires libc6 >= 2.3.2).
- You will need to extract this package in your root directory (everything will
- be extracted in /usr/local/cross-tools).
- - compiling natively on Windoze with cygwin:
- You will need to download and run the setup.exe app from cygwin's web site
- (www.cygwin.com). You will also need to make sure you install at least the
- gcc-g++, gcc-mingw, mingw-runtime and win32-api packages.
- - compiling natively on Windoze with MSYS+MINGW:
- You will need to download and install the latest MSYS, MSYS-DTK and MINGW.
- The installation is really easy. Begin with the MSYS auto-installer and once
- this is done, extract MINGW into c:msys1.0mingw. You also have to remember
- to remove the make utility included with MINGW as it conflicts with the one
- from MSYS (just rename or remove c:msys1.0mingwbinmake.exe).
- http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml
- http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.9.exe
- http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe
- http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
- 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 (these compiled
- libraries will only work with mingw or cygwin):
- http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/contrib-20040902-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.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/win32). You can do this with the following
- command:
- tar xjvf contrib-20040902-win32-bin-gcc3.3.1-only.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/win32.
- If you are cross-compiling from Debian, you can use something
- along those lines:
- ./bootstrap &&
- CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml"
- LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib
- CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++
- ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux
- --disable-sdl --disable-gtk
- --enable-nls
- --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac
- --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora
- --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/win32/live.com
- --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom
- --enable-toolame --enable-dvdread
- --enable-debug
- If you are cross-compiling with our gcc-3.3.1 package, you can use something
- along those lines:
- ./bootstrap &&
- PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin:$PATH
- CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/win32/include
- LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib
- CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++
- ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux
- --disable-sdl --disable-gtk
- --enable-nls
- --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac
- --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora
- --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/win32/live.com
- --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom
- --enable-toolame --enable-dvdread
- --enable-debug
- If you are using cygwin, you can build VLC with or without the POSIX
- emulation layer. Without is usually better and with POSIX emulation
- hasn't been tested in about a year or so. So to build without the
- emulation layer, use something like this:
- ./bootstrap &&
- CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml"
- LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib
- CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin"
- ./configure
- --disable-sdl --disable-gtk
- --enable-nls
- --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac
- --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora
- --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/win32/live.com
- --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom
- --enable-toolame --enable-dvdread
- --enable-debug
- If you want to use the emulation layer, then just omit the CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"
- CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" line. You're on your own though.
- If you are compiling with MSYS/MINGW, then you can use something along those
- lines:
- ./bootstrap &&
- CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml"
- LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib
- ./configure
- --disable-sdl --disable-gtk
- --enable-nls
- --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac
- --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora
- --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin
- --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom
- --enable-toolame --enable-dvdread
- --disable-mkv
- --enable-debug
- See `./configure --help' for more information.
- Actually Compiling the VLC source
- =================================
- Once configured, to build VLC, just run `make'.
- ( If you are using our gcc-3.3.1 cross-compiler you'll need to use:
- PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin:$PATH make )
- Once the compilation is done, you can either run VLC directly from the source
- tree or 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.
- make package-win32
- Same as above but will also create an auto-installer package. You will need
- to have NSIS installed in its default location for this to work.
- Well done, now you're ready to use VLC!
