sfTheora 1.4 - Play videos in SFML

[Richy19]

Any chance you can add cMake or Premake for us linux users?

[zorexx]

Actually, I was thinking of doing so (CMake).
But then I'm not too sure if there's any interested linux users.
Since you mention it, I'll work on it asap.
Thank you for your interest.

CMake package available now.

I'm still (very) new to CMake (this is my first CMake script), so if there's any bugs or if you're having problems getting it to work, please let me know.

Also, if you're using the CMake package (rather than those built with Visual C++), you'll have to link libtheoraplayer to your project.

Download it here (also available on the 1st page):

Sorry, I think I left out a line.
I've updated it now, please re-download and see if it works.

Using the link on the OP

[Richy19]

Figured out LibTheoraPlayer is a completelly diferent thing to libTheora so installed the right one.

But now I get:

Code: [Select]


make

I found that in GCC we have to include <cstring>, try this:

I tried to use cmake to build for mingw. Though in the cmake gui i was expecting it to ask for the location of libtheoraplayer, but it didn't. So what are the steps to compile this?

[zorexx]

It is a static library and does not need to link with libtheoraplayer during compile.

You only need to link with libtheoraplayer in your project, which means you have to link with both SFMLTheora and libtheoraplayer when you compile your project.

Yes but to compile it as a static library it needs the headers for libtheoraplayer. I ended up just copying from the include directory into your include just to compile.
Though it was a bit weird i think i need to use libtheoraplayer trunk rather than rc2 as it doesn't seem to have been structured like this
includes/libtheoraplayer/*.h
in rc2 it is
includes/*.h

Anyway still have to test it. but i have something to static link to now.

[zorexx]

About the headers, the structure is:
include/theoraplayer/*.h

You'll have to add libtheoraplayer include and lib directories to your search path, for example, for Code::Blocks (source: http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/600860):
Settings -> Compiler & Debugger Settings -> Search Directories

I compiled libtheoraplayer from svn and uploaded it to my blog, but I've only compiled for MSVC++ 2010, so you'll have to compile it yourself if you're using other compilers. You can check the directory structure from there if you need, though.

I have successfully compiled it with mingw.

I did try using cmake to generate a codeblocks version. Though cmake had errors and couldn't generate the codeblocks version. So i selected mingw make instead. There must be a missing piece of information needed by cmake.

cmake generate fine from SFML2 for codeblocks.

[zorexx]

May I know what generator are you using?
I tried using "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" and it generates fine for me.

Can you paste the errors here?

[greeniekin]

It seems to work now. I had left my computer on for a month straight and some strange things were happening i reset recently. So maybe it is related to that.

Also a quick question about libtheoraplayer. I found binaries for msvc_9 though I couldn't see any available with mingw. Have you ever compiled it with MingW. It seems they use codelite. Though when i try load the work space with codelite an error occurs with the project and it is removed for the workspace. Leaving nothing in the workspace to compile.

Not your problem obviously. I just wondered if you might know anyway.
