[vlmc-devel] Build VLMC in msys2

[George Hovhannisian]

Hi, everyone reading this.

I tried posting on the IRC, but it looks like that channel's dead.
I tried building VLMC in msys2, but everything I tried so far failed.
Following the instructions is futile, since they seem to be outdated (i.e.
references to CMake, when there is no CMake in the tree). I was wondering
if anyone had any experience building VLMC in msys2. Otherwise a good
starting point would be if I knew exactly what kind of MLT build VLMC
expects. Which modules can I safely turn off in MLT?

Hi,

Sorry about the lack of IRC (or ML) monitoring.
Theoretically, as far as VLMC goes, the only thing you need to do is `configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32`(or x86_64-w64-mingw32 if you want to build for 64bits)

Now as you guessed, it might be a bit more complicated for the dependencies... I'm not sure how MLT handles cross compilation these days, but last time I checked there were a few dependencies (like dlfcn-win32) that was making it more cumbersome.
The only modules you need for now are ffmpeg/libav & SDL

Please feel free to write down your steps as you go, I'll gladly merge a patch to update the documentation!

Regards,
