RTMPDump - how do I compile source code in Windows?

[hyc]

Once you have built it as a cygwin build, you cannot remove the dependency on the cygwin DLL. You have to build it as a pure Windows/MinGW binary to avoid the cygwin dependency.

Why can't you just use the Windows build that we already published on the web site? It's a MinGW build.

thank you,hyc

I have of course read this thread.

I tried for about 4 hours to get something to compile it yesterday to no avail.

I was attempting to use MinGW which was referenced in another thread, however I am now downloading Cygwin. I just thought it would be relatively simple to compile the exe and put it some place for me to snag -- clearly thats not the case.

Hopefully I will get it compiled today. Thanks for the help.

Uh yeah. The instructions are bad.

For one, I don't have a Makewin32 file in my source code.

For two, I can't compile the source code with Cygwin, all i get is a prompt that says "make posix" or "make mingw", neither of which work.


Could somebody please compile this source for me so I can grab the executable? it would be much appreciated ^.^

I have progressed forward by moving r440 directory into cygwin/home/user/ directory.

I opened the 'makefile' and see there are other options like make cygwin.

I typed make cygwin and this is the error it's throwing:

The filename, directory or volume label syntax is incorrect

*** librtmp/librtmp.a


I looked in the librtmp directory, there is no file called 'librtmp.a'

[withermage]

Finally compiled -- After clearing out all my previous installs of MinGW and Cygwin and deleting everything/starting fresh i was able to use cygwin to get it compiled. Thanks for this -- it worked wonderfully.

I was succesfull to compile it but get new error. When I use exercute file (ex: rtmpgw.exe) in Windows, this program get error: "Program too big to fit in memory". I don't know why? Can somebody give me some help? Thanks!

PolarSSL
polarssl.org - http://polarssl.org/

make CC=gcc LDFLAGS="-L../library -lpolarssl -lws2_32"

move polarssl-0.14.2\include\polarssl to
MinGW\include\polarssl

move polarssl-0.14.2\library\libpolarssl.a to
MinGW\lib\libpolarssl.a

Compile
svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/rtmpdump/trunk rtmpdump

mingw-get install libz

make CRYPTO=POLARSSL SHARED= SYS=mingw VERSION=r563

Notes:
if you have installed anything other than mingw-get install libz, you are going to need to reinstall MinGW
