Hi,

VLC cross compilation is bit difficult because it depends on lot packages (that also need to be cross compile).

Please refer this page & try.

Hi,

And will this generate a single .bin extension file for all the sub-codes ??

0 Titusrathinaraj Stalin over 11 years ago in reply to Milan Kumar

Hi,

Yes, It will create single binary executable only.

The above link seems to very old too, So I'm not sure.

I would like to suggest that search in net (googling) to get cross compiling procedure.

Hi,I could not do it, I searched in the net and could not find a single reliable source.

Isn't there any GUI based application to compile it ??Is it possible to install it in AM1808 ??

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, VLC player need some GTK or X server based GUI platform to work.

So, It is bit difficult.

How about "mplayer" commands which I shared earlier posts to streaming videos.
