Introduction
------------
This document describes how to build xine library under Windows.
Download
--------
Checkout source code from CVS (under Windows can be used CygWin or another tool). You will need 'xine-lib' (the library) and 'xine-win32' (testing Windows frontend). Instead xine-win32 you can use any other frontend working under Windows (toxine, ...)
Build
-----
There are three different ports on Windows:
1) MinGW (the simplest and recommended)
1) CygWin
3) M$ Visual C, or maybe .NET (recommended for debugging)
1. MinGW port
-------------
This is the best way. Result is 100% native Windows library with all optimizations.
Also you can use cross-build from comfortable unix-like system. See README.MINGWCROSS for more information.
Requirements for compilation under Windows:
a) installed MinGW
b) LIB.EXE, LINK.EXE and MSPDB60.DLL from M$ Visual C
(necessary only for usability created xine library by M$ compilers)
How to build:
#
# configure for building in MinGW under Windows
#
./configure --with-dxheaders=DIRECTORY
#
# compile
#
make
#
# install and manually remove the static plugins
#
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/xine-lib
rm /tmp/xine-lib/bin/plugins/*.a
rm /tmp/xine-lib/bin/plugins/post/*.a
Prepare xine library for using in M$ compilers too:
# run terminal window (MinGW for example)
...
# creating libxine-1.lib file
cd <path_where_libxine_is_installed>/lib
cp ../bin/libxine-1.dll .
<path_to_M$VC>/VC98/BIN/LIB.EXE /machine:i386 /def:libxine-1.def
rm libxine-1.dll
2. CygWin port
--------------
This is the second way. Created library won't be 100% windows native: it will contains some additional emulation code and I'm not sure, if it can be used with M$ compilers.
It's possible to use CygWin for cross-compiling with MinGW.
How to build:
#
# configure
#
./configure --with-dxheaders=DIRECTORY
#
# compile
#
make
#
# install
#
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/xine-lib
3. M$ Visual C port
-------------------
This build system is different from the one, used for all other platforms, but we partially keep it up to date - just for experimental reasons, but only if we have access to some M$ computer.
Reasons, why not to use this port:
- can't compile included ffmpeg (important multi-decoder in xine)
- can't compile new assembler code (it means degradation of power)
- never 100% up to date
- somebody must own the OS and compiler
Reasons, why to use this port:
- obtaining cute backtrace after crash, debugging
How to build xine in M$ Visual C:
- Set up MSVC to look for DirectX headers.
- Download Pthreads Win32
(ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/), from prebuild directory
install include/*.h, lib/pthreadVC2.lib and lib/pthreadVC2.dll,
rename pthreadVC2.lib to pthread.lib
set up MSVC - libraries and headers.
- Download zlib (http://www.zlib.net), instal all in include and lib,
set up MSVC - libraries and headers.
- Copy include/xine.h.in to include/xine.h, replace @text@ by right values
(eg. XINE_MAJOR 1, XINE_MINOR 1, XINE_SUB 0, XINE_VERSION "1.1.0")
- Open up the xine.dsw workspace/project in MSVC.
- Click on the FileView tab.
- Build the following projects in this order:
libxinesuppt
libxine
libdvdnav
- Next build any desired plugins (decoders/demuxers ...). The ao_out_directx2 and vo_out_directx are required for Win32. ao_out_directx is obsoleted. There is a possibility to use the vo_out_sdl but sdl.dll must be present for that to take place. There have also been some issues observed with the directX video driver on some machines.
- If you want ffmpeg decoder plugin, you must use precompiled version. If you want to compile it, you should have the files LIB.EXE, LINK.EXE and MSPDB60.DLL from the Visual C++.
Under MinGW you can compile ffmpeg for xine by this way:
#
# run the script/patch necessary for MSVC and for xine
#
cd ffmpeg
sh ../xine-lib/win32/scripts/ffmpeg_win32.patch
#
# (for cross-compiling add "--cross-prefix=i386-mingw32-"
# and "--disable-mmx")
#
./configure \
--enable-gpl \
--enable-pp \
--enable-shared \
--disable-zlib \
--enable-mingw32
make
#
# linking by running this command in libavcodec/ directory (use wine for
# cross-compiling)
#
# it's done automatically if you have 'LIB.EXE' linked to 'lib' in your
# $PATH and set wine
#
wine LIB.EXE /machine:i386 /def:avcodec.def
#
# install
#
PREFIX=/tmp/ffmpeg; make install prefix=$PREFIX bindir=$PREFIX libdir=$PREFIX/lib
cp libavcodec/avcodec.lib $PREFIX/lib
cp libavformat/avformat.lib $PREFIX/lib
cp libavutil/avutil.lib $PREFIX/lib
Status
------
There remains many of work yet on Windows port.
Limitations:
- file > 1GB doesn't work (MinGW problem?)
- build system isn't fully tuned for cross-compiling
- seeking doesn't work with testing frontend, but it should be OK in library
Bugs:
- random crashes and random locks in stress tests
- non-seekable input plugins crash
- ffmpeg bug visible for some video sizes
