- - Cross compiling VLC for ARM-Linux based platforms - Marc Ariberti - Jean-Paul Saman - v0.0.2, 19 march 2004 - - This document describes all the steps to cross compile vlc for ARM based - platforms. It describes how to build a cross compilation toolchain, how to - build the libraries needed by vlc and the compilation of the vlc itself. - - - - - - - Introduction -

- This document is only a first draft. It does not intend to cover all the - subject. You may still have some problems at some steps or find better - way to do them. If you have any comment do not hesitate to contact us. -

- - Which platforms are targeted ? -

- I will describe here how to compile vlc for an ARM based - PDA running linux. It includes for example : - - Compaq - iPaq (H36xx, H38xx,...), using Familiar Linux - - GNU Portable Environment (GPE) - Opie - - - YOPY/Linupy - Zaurus - -

- - - Requirements for cross-compilation - - - Why cross-compiling ? -

- It is of course possible to compile directly on the targeted platform. - But there are a lot of great advantages to cross-compile : - - The most important one is probably the speed, because a - desktop computer is most of the time faster than a PDA for - compilation. - Another big problem is that a complete compilation toolchain - does take a great amount of disk space. And this space is usually - very limited on embedded systems. - And there also may not be enough memory to compile big files. - -

- - - - - Building the toolchain - - Prerequisite - - Importants paths -

- During this section, we will use the following paths : -

-

I would personally advise to compile everything as a normal user and - then install everything as root.

- - ${SRCDIR} -

- This is where the sources will be located and where the compilation - will be done. - (eg: /usr/src or /home/foobar/arm-src). -

- - - ${PREFIX} -

This is where you want to install your cross compilation toolchain. - It can be either installed system-wide (in /usr/local/arm/2.95.3 for example). Installation steps (i.e. make install) will have - to be done as root. - Or it can be installed in user-land, for the user's own use (/home/foobar/arm/2.95.3 for example). - In this paper, the chosen prefix is /usr/local/arm/2.95.3, - you will have to adapt the commands to what you choose.. -

- - - - Files needed -

Download the following files and put them in the ${SRCDIR}. - Most of them are available on the . - - binutils-2.11.2.tar.gz - linux-2.4.19.tar.bz2 - patch-2.4.19-rmk4.bz2 - gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz - gcc-2.95.3.diff.bz2 - gcc-2.95.3.diffbis.bz2 - gcc-2.95.3.diff2 - glibc-2.2.5.tar.gz - glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.5.tar.gz - SDL-1.2.5.tar.gz - glib-1.2.10.tar.gz - ffmpeg.tar.gz - mad-0.14.2b.tar.gz - flac-1.1.0.tar.gz - libdvbpsi-0.1.2.tar.gz - a52dec-0.7.4.tar.gz - -

- Add /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin to your PATH.

- - - - - Cross compiling vlc itself -

- First of all, run the ./bootstrap script. - Then run one of the ipkg/rules.*, according to what you want to compile. - Finally you just have to type make and you'll get a stand alone vlc. -

-

- Run arm-linux-strip to remove symbols and so the size of the file, - and now you can test it easily on your PDA. -

- Enjoy ! -
