this might seem as a dumb question but it's been days now and i can't figure it out, where do i include files for libvlc to work?
I've had this example code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <vlc/vlc.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
libvlc_instance_t * inst;
libvlc_media_player_t *mp;
libvlc_media_t *m;
/* Load the VLC engine */
inst = libvlc_new (0, NULL);
/* Create a new item */
m = libvlc_media_new_location (inst, "http://mycool.movie.com/test.mov");
//m = libvlc_media_new_path (inst, "/path/to/test.mov");
/* Create a media player playing environement */
mp = libvlc_media_player_new_from_media (m);
/* No need to keep the media now */
libvlc_media_release (m);
#if 0
/* This is a non working code that show how to hooks into a window,
* if we have a window around */
libvlc_media_player_set_xwindow (mp, xid);
/* or on windows */
libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd (mp, hwnd);
/* or on mac os */
libvlc_media_player_set_nsobject (mp, view);
#endif
/* play the media_player */
libvlc_media_player_play (mp);
sleep (10); /* Let it play a bit */
/* Stop playing */
libvlc_media_player_stop (mp);
/* Free the media_player */
libvlc_media_player_release (mp);
libvlc_release (inst);
return 0;
}
It's bad enough i only understand half of the code for now but i can't get from the first step, which is
#include <vlc/vlc.h>
No matter where i try to place the files(i thought it was in directory like regular "foo.h" header files but it doesn't seem to work. I know that using are different that "this", <> being for standard template library... i think... and the only solution that worked so far was
#include <C:\Users\patrik\Desktop\vlc-master\include\vlc\vlc.h>
Which to no suprise it's a whole path, but then header files links a lot of other files and compiler can't find those, so it's obviously not a real solution.
Thanks in advance!
ps: if it helps, what i'm trying to is render a video on a sprite in Cocos2d-x
EDIT: What i didn't know was how to properly include the outside code, if anyone else stumbles up on this question with similar problem, this video is an example how to solve simple #includes -> https://youtu.be/HExn9oTqdVo
