Need assistance to build the "moi dom" flavor from the project sources #5

Open poketix opened 8 years ago

poketix commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to build the "moi dom" flavor on the Windows platform using the gcc (MinGW) compiler. Neither Qt5 nor Qt4.8 succeeds - the numerous build errors are reported. Any assistance or brief guide would be greatly appreciated (English. Russian are both ok). Thanks in advance. Poketix.

Use the the branch "rodnoe.tv", master will not work for you. You have to use Qt4.8.x. Qt5 isn't fully supported yet. I use Qt Creator. Open moi-dom.pro. Run qmake and rebuild should work. The correct version of MinGW for Qt4.8.x is MinGW 4.40.

Thanks a lot. I'll give it a try and report the progress. Edit: Tried to build using the gcc4.40 and Qt4.8.5 installed to the default locations. Before everything may I kindly suggest fixing the warning in the "libvlc_media_player.h"? Line 36 - instead of 

# ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
# else
#  include <stdbool.h>
# endif

it is better to use 

# ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
# endif

# ifndef __cplusplus
#  include <stdbool.h>
# endif

as otherwise there is a compiler warning about the not finding the "#endif". Now I'm still not succeeding to build. The following error is reported:

C:\Temp\vlc_record-rodnoe.tv>mingw32-make -s -j2 release

Project MESSAGE: Using standard api client ...Project MESSAGE: using XML parser ...gcc: program.rc: No such file or directory
gcc: warning: '-x c' after last input file has no effect

mingw32-make: *** [release] Error 2

C:\Temp\vlc_record-rodnoe.tv>which mingw32-make
/cygdrive/c/Qt/mingw/bin/mingw32-make

Any suggestion?

I managed to build the executable. The reason for the issue with the "program.rc" was interference from the cygwin installed on my PC. The make used wrong "echo" (not the build-in one of Windows but the one from cygwin that misinterprets the "#" chracter). Now I have the working executable that allows me watching the MOI-DOM programs. The only missing part is the program resources required by the "makensis". Those are completely missing for the moi_dom in the branch unlike kartina_tv and some others. For the time being I'll probably reuse the missing files from the existing installation. Should this work? Anyway thanks a lot for the support, I'm going deeper into the implementation now to check what can be done to improve the MOI-DOM experience.
