hi - i followed the instructions in the 1st post and i've got the latest downloads of minsys, mingw and tortoisecvs and mplayer from cvs. when i run ./configurexbmc i get an error which says:

error: cannot find header either inittypes .h or bitypes.h (see docs/html/en/faq.html).
check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.

i can't find the faq.html. the end of configure.log says:
============
#include <inttypes.h>
int main(void) { return 0; }

does anyone know what i need to do to get this to configure and compile?

thanks,

try reinstalling msys and mingw. you've made some mistake in installing (just follow the instructions exactly). all you need are the base installs of each.

updated for the use of gcc 3.4.4

i was hoping someone could help me, i am trying to compile this dll and am having some difficulties. i follow the directions but when i put the dll into the mplayer directory on my 1.0 xbox with [admin note-- we do not recommend using slayer]s 2.6 installed i only get a loud screeching on the audio.

any ideas?


- orbitus - 2005-06-27

ahh, could that be it, [admin note-- we do not recommend using slayer]s i mean?


- thenetstriker - 2005-07-10

i have another problem with the compilation of mplayer. after i run ./configurexbmc --disable-libavformat i get the following output:

does all this still work?
(and would we not need xbox header files?)

this is what i get:
gcc -i../libvo -i../../libvo  -fno-pic -o4 -march=pentium3 -mtune=pentium3 -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -d_largefile_source -d_file_offset_bits=64 -i/home/user/mplayer/xbmcsys -i/home/user/mplayer/xbmcsys/xbmc_vobsub -d_xbox -dxbmc_vobsub  -dhave_av_config_h -i.. -i../libavutil -d_file_offset_bits=64 -d_largefile_source -d_gnu_source    -c -o i386/fdct_mmx.o i386/fdct_mmx.c
i386/fdct_mmx.c:16:20: common.h: no such file or directory
make[1]: *** [i386/fdct_mmx.o] error 1
make[1]: leaving directory `/home/user/mplayer/libavcodec'
make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] error 2

and when i copy the common.h file from mplayer\libavcodec to mplayer\libavcodec\i386 it continues but:

<a lot of lines>

then makedll fails also (fcourse)

i'm sure this is stupid, but after it compiles successfully, what files do i get? is it somewhere in the mplayer cvs? :bowdown:

any ideas?


- elupus - 2006-06-20

you didn't build it..

configurexbmc
make distclean
make
makedll


- NaPeK - 2006-06-20

same error after makedll

mingw-3.2.0-rc-3.exe
gcc-core-3.4.4-20050522-1.tar.gz
msys-1.0.10.exe

newer versions shows errors right after ./configurexbmc






- elupus - 2006-06-20

if configurexbmc fails something is wrong.. could you tell me what is failing?


- NaPeK - 2006-06-20

ok now what i got

xbmc mplayer cvs with folders libavcodec and libavformat from mplayer-1.0pre7 (i want pre8 if it's possible)

installed mingw-4.1.0.exe (current libs)
gcc-core-3.4.4-20050522-1.tar.gz
msys-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe

commands:
./configurexbmc --disable-libavformat
make distclean
make
makedll

and now error is:

$ makedll
*** compiling mplayer.dll
gcc.exe: libavcodec/libavcodec.a: no such file or directory
gcc.exe: libavutil/libavutil.a: no such file or directory
make: *** [dll] error 1

only 2 lines...

I have just followed the guide in the first post and tryed to compile mplayer.dll (for the curiousity I must add).
It went just fine, but the new mplayer.dll is about 1 Mb smaller than the version prebuilt in xbmc.

So my question is if somone can tell me why its smaller ?
Mayby some features aint enabled this way, and its no reason to selfcompile the mplayer..?
Huh


- HarshReality - 2006-09-15

OK, unlike an xbe file you guys are compiling a dll for media access. if its 1 meg smaller... ok looks suspicious but try it out. You compiled it locally on your machine, run it through the gambit. rename the one on your xbox to mplayer.bak up your compile of it and try playing media. Then if it has issues with say.. mp3 or divx, then the guys can help you a bit better here.
