[xvid_encraw] Trying to compile with MinGW

[filler56789]

Okay, I intend to compile xvid_encraw.exe, only because I'd like to increase the maximum quantity of zones from 64 to a more-reasonable value (256 or 512, for example). I've downloaded the modded Xvid 1.3.2 source-code from Jawor's site, and managed to build xvidcore.dll, however xvid_encraw gives me just the following error message:

$ make
gcc -g -DARCH_IS_IA32 -DARCH_IS_32BIT -DARCH_IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN -mno-cygwin -I../src -c xvid_enc raw.c

gcc -o xvid_encraw xvid_encraw.o -lc -lm ../build/generic/=build/xvidcore.a -lpthread d:/minimsys/zs4mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lc

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xvid_encraw] Error 1

Does your "recipe" apply to Xvid 1.3.2 as well? :confused:

[Chikuzen]

About a year ago, I wrote some patches to compile xvidcore on mingw, and posted them to xvid ML.
(and they ware applied to svn repository)
Since some changes are needed for compiling it on mingw, I do not recommend 1.3.2.

Does your "recipe" apply to Xvid 1.3.2 as well?
No.
You ordered to link libc to the linker.
however, mingw doesn't have libc because it use msvcrt.dll as libc.
thus, never add -lc on mingw.

:stupid:

But thanks for the complete answer. :thanks:

I will download the 1.4 code :( and will try once again. :o

@ Chikuzen: many THANKS again, your command-lines work. :)

NB: You can define 512 zones repeating the -z[qw] option as needed.

:D

sorry, I misunderstood your question.

about compiling xvid_encraw, my recipe is effective also to 1.3.2.
