sfeMovie project [v1.0 RC1 available]

[Rodion777]

I'm sorry but I have again failed to compile. Compile please for windows. (Debug and Release)

[Nexus]

I'm sorry but I have again failed to compile.

What failed exactly?

I think it's more important to have a clear build guide that everybody understands than providing binaries. I already built sfeMovie for Windows some time ago, but things may have changed meanwhile.

[Rodion777]

My actions:

1. I  downloaded and installed full MinGW with msys from official site. (C:\MinGW)
2. I  downloaded and installed Cmake with GUI ("C:\CMake 2.8")
3. I  execute "cmake-gui.exe" and choose a folder with unpacked sfeMovie sources
4. I set output folder for build
5. I press Configure button
6. I set generator for generate VS10 project
7. In the same window I set option: "Use default native compilers"
8. Next step compiling begin and compiler return error:

Not sure if that still applies but looking at the official website it says:

To build sfeMovie, make sure you have CMake, Make and Clang/GCC installed. You'll also need Visual Studio if you want to build sfeMovie for this IDE. Then download the latest sources (see Downloads section), and run build.sh from a command line interpreter. Directly using CMake will not work!

Windows specific

sfeMovie relies on FFmpeg, and to build FFmpeg you need a Unix environment plus some settings. This can be achieved by following these steps:

download the latest MinGW binary from this page
install MinGW, without forgetting to enable: C++ Compiler, MSYS Basic System and MinGW Developer ToolKit
install CMake (see CMake website) and accept setting CMake in your PATH
launch the MinGW shell (C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat)
within the command line interpreter, go to the directory where you downloaded sfeMovie through the "cd" command, type "./build.sh windows" and return
Note if you use Visual Studio, you'll need to finish the compilation process using the generated sfeMovie.sln solution. For technical reasons, when targeting Visual Studio, the sfeMovie library is dynamically linked against FFmpeg (instead of static linking when targeting MinGW/CodeBlocks). This implies that you'll also have to copy the newly built FFmpeg DLLs from sfeMovie/deps/ffmpeg-build once you've built sfeMovie, in order to use the new set of decoders.

I also tried it, but in the source code folder there is no file  "build.sh" but there is a file "build_ffmpeg.sh".

execution of commands "./build_ffmpeg.sh windows" given nothing

Not sure if that still applies but looking at the official website it says:

Indeed these do no more apply (but that's a nice try ), they only apply to the sfeMovie 1.0 source package.

The issue here isn't about sfeMovie but about how to setup CMake to work with VS. And the important part is described in SFML's tutorial: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/compile-with-cmake.php (section Configuring your SFML build)

With Visual C++, you can either run CMake from the "Visual Studio command prompt" available from the start menu, or call the vcvars32.bat file of your Visual Studio installation; it will setup the environment variables properly.

> your_visual_studio_folder\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat
> cmake

The issue is that CMake doesn't know anything about your VS installation, thus you need to tell it how it can use VS compiler. That's what is done when executing the vcvars32.bat file (automatically executed when launching the VS command line prompt).

I'm not a Windows expert so I don't know if you really have to run CMake from the VS command line prompt or if there is a graphical way of doing so. I hope that'll help you though. Maybe SFML users know a bit more about this .

[Ceylo]

I also tried it, but in the source code folder there is no file  "build.sh" but there is a file "build_ffmpeg.sh".

execution of commands "./build_ffmpeg.sh windows" given nothing

Indeed many things changed on the build system and build.sh does no more exist. As for the build_ffmpeg.sh, you should never need to execute it manually.

About my above post, from what I remember, I don't need to run vcvars32.bat, but I built sfeMovie on Windows a long time ago and I don't remember what I did to achievd this

Hi!
I have a progress! I found out that .Net 4.5 framework interfere with cmake, after i unistalled .Net 4.5 framework there were less errors, but i have new errors:

I don't know what produces the "errors" at the beginning of your log but

Could NOT find SFML (missing: SFML_GRAPHICS_LIBRARY SFML_WINDOW_LIBRARY
  SFML_SYSTEM_LIBRARY SFML_AUDIO_LIBRARY)

is because you need to tell CMake where SFML is, by defining the SFML_ROOT variable in CMake. Set it to the path of the directory containing SFML's include and lib directories.

Thx, I fixed it

[Ceylo]

Does your "I fixed it" means you could fully build sfeMovie for Windows?

[Rodion777]

No, just when compiling fewer errors

[Ceylo]

I won't be able to help if you don't give more details. At the moment I've absolutely no idea of where you're stuck.

[Rodion777]

Hi. Today i have a progress. I created  "Visual Studio 9 solution" with CMAKE. The problem was in the Visual Studio 2010, possible incompatibility. I also compiled sfeMovie, but i don't have success. After compilation, I got only "sfeMovie.dll". I tried to replace this dll in my project, after this my programm compiled successful, but return an  error after start execution : "Point of entry to the procedure ?initialize@SoundStream@sf@@IAEXII@Z not found in DLL avformat-55.dll".

[Ceylo]

Why didn't you create a Visual Studio 2010 solution with CMake?

So from what I understand, you successfully built sfeMovie but you have errors in your project?
Can you describe exactly what you did to use sfeMovie in your own project?
