Compiling XviD tarballs is relatively easy. Compiling the CVS is an entirely different kettle of fish. The command "bootstrap" is temperamental with MinGW. Therefore, it ideally needs to be done first in Linux, then compiled in Windows. Cross-compiling doesn't work, as far as I know.
I will try and provide Windows CVS binaries. If people want them, come and get them! :D At the moment, I have been experimenting with the only CVS package I have, 20051104. As I get more confident, this will be at least once a week, or if there has been a significant change.
Currently, the zip contains xvidcore.dll, xvidvfw.dll and xvid.inf. As I get more confident with NSIS, I may include an installer and uninstaller, but for now, this should be enough to play with. ;)
**PLEASE NOTE** I cannot accept responsibility if these builds screw around with your settings. They will override what XviD codec you already have, and their settings. You have been warned. I just provide them. You are responsible for what happens with the codec.
I compile with MinGW 3.4.2, NASM 0.98.39, MSYS 1.0.10, and binutils. Bootstrapping comes courtesy of Fedora Core 4 (recently installed, and I'm still experimenting!).
I hope this may be useful to all those who wish to have it but couldn't compile.
Incidentally, I can compile all official XviD releases as well, if anybody is interested. ;)
Link: Being sorted, bear with me!
