Compiling XviD

Just wanted to ask what are the requirents to compile XviD... VC++?? SP?? DirectX SDK? other?? Thanks, MoonWalker

As far as I know you need Visual Studio 6 SP5 + processor Pack (or anything else that can compile), DirectX SDK, and the pthreads file (for the current SMP code).

(& the latest version of NASM for all the assembly stuff) -Nic

Thanks for you quick replies.. Where can I find the pthreads file and NASM(It it free??) EDIT : Found NASM HERE What about phtreads?? Thanks, MoonWalker

I've only MSC++ SP4+PP/NASM. Not SP5 nor the DX SDK :( So i'm unable to compile it. And i can't even think of dl SP5 (180 Mb) or the DX SDK (80 Mb) with my connection (6 hours ???) I think i will use Linux :) to avoid M$ shit :rolleyes:

@MoonWalker: @Marc FD: Aren't that what nights are for? :D

Kinda OT but here goes, what is is required to get xvid to compile under VC++ 7.0 ?

You dont need the processor pack (Im pretty sure?) (and of course you obviously dont need SP5). However you will still need NASM & optional DirectX SDK (for the Dshow filter). ( BTW VC .net is just evil, evil I tells ya! :D ) -Nic ps Actually you might need the Pro pack for headers, anyway its only a small download.....

I think we've got quite enough sticky's for now ;) Ive added the compilation requirements to my first post in the FAQ thread sticky. Im sure that will do :) Cheers, -Nic

Just to let you know, XviD compiles fine for me with VC++ 6 SP3 and NASM. No DX SDK needed and no processor pack for just the VFW codec or the core.
