This is intentional, and if done properly, you should see a functioning symbolic link created in the parent directory (try ls -l.

If your host triplet is not i686-w64-mingw32 (you are not compiling for Debian or Ubuntu), create a symlink to contribs:

#WIN32 BOOTSTRAP BUILDER INSTALL#

If you are on Linux 64-bit, you SHOULD remove some files, or install the lib32 packages (ia32-libs, multilibs, etc.) # apt-get install subversion yasm cvs cmake ragel autopoint Or, if you want to compile the contribs yourself and are feeling adventurous and have lots of time to burn: To compile the VLC 3.0.x development branch, DO NOT USE the prebuilt libraries. It is not compatible with old VLC versions, nor with newer or future versions.Īt the time of writing (late 2016), the prebuilt libraries work with VLC 2.2.x only. Please note that the prebuilt library versions are intended for the latest current stable release of VLC.

#WIN32 BOOTSTRAP BUILDER MANUAL#

The manual build approach takes a lot of time and disk space, and somewhat error-prone.

The prebuilt approach is much faster and easier, but only works with a narrow set of VLC versions.

Before compiling VLC, you need to obtain compiled versions of those. VLC depends on a sizable number of third party libraries. # apt-get install yasm ragel ant default-jdk protobuf-compiler dos2unix

#WIN32 BOOTSTRAP BUILDER WINDOWS#

To compile VLC for Windows (32-bits or 64-bits), the Mingw-w64 toolchain is required: Please make sure that you replace the keywords HOST-TRIPLET with either i686-w64-mingw32 or x86_64-w64-mingw32 adapted to your target Windows version (32-bit or 64-bit, respectively) x86_64-w64-mingw32 for Windows 64-bits, using the Mingw-w64 toolchain.i686-w64-mingw32 for Windows 32-bits, using the Mingw-w64 toolchain.Notably on Debian/Ubuntu, these values must be used: The exact value depends on your installation of the toolchain. With an incorrect value, the build will fail. Without the value, the build system will perform a native compilation for Linux (or whatever your computer runs). This value is essential: it instructs the build system to use the correct toolchain and compile the program for Windows. For other distribution, please find the related package names, but they should be very similar.Ī number of commands below include the toolchain identifier, called the host triplet. Obtaining the cross-compilation toolchainĪll this howto is focused on Debian/Ubuntu. This is error-prone and slow and therefore not recommended. Cygwin emulates a POSIX environment to compile on Microsoft Windows. This is not officially supported by VideoLAN. MSYS is a minimal build environment to compile Unix-style projects directly on Microsoft Windows. On computers running Microsoft Windows, a virtual machine is necessary to run Linux. Preferred method involving cross-compilation from Linux. If you want to build VLC from source, you have several choices: 2 Obtaining the cross-compilation toolchain.
