2. Preparation

Compiling VLC source code requires some software support, and some software is also needed during compilation.

Under Linux 64-bit, apt-get installation software is available on the Internet. I recommend using aptitude command to install. If not, install aptitude first, because aptitude can help solve the dependence of the software.

$ sudo apt-get install aptitude
Copy the code

As the default ubuntu source is the Ubuntu website, the network speed needs to be improved slightly. Therefore, it is recommended to change the domestic source first. http://www.zgljl2012.com/ubuntu-xiu-gai-ubuntude-apt-getyuan-wei-a-li-yun-yuan-de-fang-fa/
It is recommended to install VIm before replacing a domestic source. Use VIM to open the file and then overwrite the original content.

$ sudo apt-get install vim
Copy the code

3. Compilation depends on software installation

CTRL + Alt +T, open the command line and execute the following commands in sequence:

$sudo aptitude install gcc-mingw-w64-i686 g++-mingw-w64-i686 mingw-w64-tools $sudo aptitude install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 mingw-w64-tools # $sudo aptitude install lua5.2 libtool $sudo aptitude install libtool automake autoconf autopoint make gettext $ sudo aptitude install pkg-config $ sudo aptitude install qt4-dev-tools qt5-default $ sudo aptitude install git  subversion $ sudo aptitude install cmake cvs $ sudo aptitude install wine64-development-tools libwine-dev zip p7zip nsis bzip2 # wine-dev for creating Win32 packages $ sudo aptitude install yasm ragel ant default-jdk protobuf-compiler dos2unix $ sudo aptitude updateCopy the code

Install the ttF-Mscorefonts-Installer config page. Press TAB, select OK or Yes, and press Enter.

4. Execute the script

Save the following to the script jb.sh

#! /bin/sh # This script enforces statically linking of libgcc, libstdc++-6, and libpthread, # without needing to rebuild gcc and mingw-w64 from scratch. # -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ flags can not be used in  a libtool build system, # as libtool removes flags that it doesn't understand. move() { [ -f $1 ] || return 1 mkdir -p old/ mv -v $* old/ return  0 } for x in i686 x86_64 do library_path_list=`$x-w64-mingw32-gcc -v /dev/null 2>&1 | grep ^LIBRARY_PATH|cut -d= -f2|sort|uniq` IFS=':' for i in $library_path_list do cd $i move libstdc++-6.dll libstdc++.dll.a libgcc_s.a libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll && ln -s libgcc_eh.a libgcc_s.a move libpthread.dll.a libwinpthread.dll.a move libwinpthread-1.dll [  -d ../bin ] && cd .. /bin && move libwinpthread-1.dll done done exit 0Copy the code

Then execute the script:

$ sh j8.sh
Copy the code

5, decompress the source code

$tar xJvf vlc-2.2.4.tar.xz $CD vlc-2.2.4/Copy the code

6. Prepare for precompilation

Contrib /x86_64 && CD contrib/x86_64: contrib/x86_64. /bootstrap --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 make prebuilt ## Manual building, website said takes time, and also very easy to get wrong, don't, for example # # -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- # # (recommend, speed) method 3: $mkdir win32 = contrib; $CD contrib = contrib; CD win32 $mv ~/vlc-contrib-i686-w64-mingw32-latest.tar.bz2 vlc-contrib-i686-w64-mingw32-latest.tar.bz2 ## 64-bit compiler $mkdir  x86_64; CD x86_64 $mv ~/vlc-contrib-x86_64-w64-mingw32-latest.tar.bz2 vlc-contrib-x86_64-w64-mingw32-latest.tar.bz2 ## Start precompiling 32 bits $.. /bootstrap --build=i686-w64-mingw32 $make prebuilt # /bootstrap --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 $ make prebuiltCopy the code

Return to source code root after precompilation (vLC-2.2.4)

$ cd .. /.. /Copy the code

7. Prepare to compile source code

$./bootstrap ## 32 bit $mkdir win32 && CD win32 ## 64 bit $mkdir x86_64 && CD x86_64 ## 32 bit export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$HOME/vlc-2.2.4/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig ## 64-bit export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$HOME/vlc-2.2.4/contrib/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig / extras/package/win32 / configure. Sh for win32 compilation script source extract got # # under Linux 64 - bit compiled windows32, this process, there will be a wine update process, automatic $... / extras/package/win32 / configure. Sh - host = host - i686 w64 - mingw32 - build = x86_64 - PC - # # under the Linux 64 - bit Linux - gnu compiler windows64 a $ . /configure --host=HOST-x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ##See '.. /configure --help' for more information.Copy the code

8, build,

$make -- j4 ##Copy the code

9, packaging,

$wine./vlc-2.2.4/vlc.exe $make package-win32-7zip # Generate vlC-2.2.4-win64.7z and Symbols-2.2.4. Copy it to Windows, decompress it, and run it. This step will download the npapi-vLC source code to x86_64/npapi-vlc and compile it, overwriting the original x86_64/npapi-vlc file. Need a VPN. $make package-win32-debug-7zip # generate vlC-2.2.4-win64-debug.7zCopy the code

10. Tread pit records

If an error occurs while installing dependent software:

UBuntu software installation message: Reading the package list… Finished Analyzing software package dependency tree reading status information… Completion E: Unable to find package build-essential

$sudo aptitude update $sudo aptitude update ##Copy the code

Qt4-default qT4-default qT4-default qT4-default

qt4-dev-tools, qt5-default (or qt4-default if qt plugin build fails)

The sh script runs, however, because Linux is coded differently from Windows, where newlines are /n and Windows is /r/n. Therefore, you need to install the dos2UNIX software and convert the format before running the script.

$ sudo aptitude install dos2unix
$ dos2unix jb.sh
$ sh jb.sh
Copy the code

Error: LibVLC requires mingw-runtime version 3.15 or higher, or mingw-w64 version 3.0 or higher! LibVLC requires mingw-runtime version 3.15 or higher, or mingw-w64 version 3.0 or higher! Because the MINGW version is too low, you can reinstall the higher version.
