THIS FILE IS OUTDATED!
|
|
|
|
|
I don't use cygwin anymore but mingw. Unfortunately compilation of
|
|
|
|
|
all required libraries is FAR from easy with mingw as almost every
|
|
|
|
|
package needs some kind of patch of specialized Makefile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'll update this file with build instructions for mingw when I
|
|
|
|
|
find the time to do so. They're basically the instructions below
|
|
|
|
|
with some additional steps here and there.

Since 2003-05-09 it is possible to compile mkvtoolnix under the cygwin
|
|
|
|
|
environment under Windows. These are some very short build and
|
|
|
|
|
installation instructions. If you just need some binaries then get
|
|
|
|
|
them from http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Download cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/ and install it. Be sure
|
|
|
|
|
to include all relevant stuff like the auto* packages and all iconv
|
|
|
|
|
packages.
|
|
|
|
|
2) Download libogg and libvorbis from http://www.xiph.org/ Get the
|
|
|
|
|
source packages, not the binaries for Windows. They should be named
|
|
|
|
|
libogg-1.0.tar.gz and libvorbis-1.0.tar.gz or something like that
|
|
|
|
|
(don't mind the actual version number, it might be higher than
|
|
|
|
|
1.0).
|
|
|
|
|
3) In the cygwin bash execute the following commands which will build
|
|
|
|
|
the Ogg and Vorbis libraries:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/src
|
|
|
|
|
tar xvzf /where/i/put/libogg-1.0.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
cd libogg-1.0
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/src
|
|
|
|
|
tar xvzf /where/i/put/libvorbis-1.0.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
cd libvorbis-1.0
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-ogg=/usr/local
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
4) Get current versions of libebml and libmatroska (either from CVS or
|
|
|
|
|
a proper release). For the CVS version do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/src
|
|
|
|
|
cvs -d :ext:anonymous@matroska.corecodec.org:/cvsroot/matroska \
|
|
|
|
|
co libebml
|
|
|
|
|
cd libebml/make/linux
|
|
|
|
|
make lib install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/src
|
|
|
|
|
cvs -d :ext:anonymous@matroska.corecodec.org:/cvsroot/matroska \
|
|
|
|
|
co libmatroska
|
|
|
|
|
cd libmatroska/make/linux
|
|
|
|
|
make LIBEBML_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/ebml lib install
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-05-28 08:39:14 +00:00
|
|
|
The same applies to the releases. Of course here you have to replace
|
|
|
|
|
the 'cvs -d ...' with 'tar xvzf libebml-...', and you have to
|
|
|
|
|
include the proper version number in the cd commands.

|
|
|
5) Download and install wxWindows (http://www.wxwindows.org/) if you
|
|
|
|
|
want a GUI for mkvinfo. Make sure that mkvtoolnix' configure can
|
|
|
|
|
find the wx-config script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6) Get the mkvtoolnix sources either from CVS or a release (note that
|
2003-05-09 06:27:26 +00:00
|
|
|
0.3.2 is the first version that can be compiled under cygwin). For
|
|
|
|
|
the CVS version do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/src
|
|
|
|
|
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@bunkus.org:/home/cvs co mkvtoolnix
|
|
|
|
|
cd mkvtoolnix
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-ogg-prefix=/usr/local \
|
|
|
|
|
--with-vorbis-prefix=/usr/local
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you use a release version the steps are very similar:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/src
|
|
|
|
|
tar xvjf /where/i/put/mkvtoolnix-x.y.z.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
|
cd mkvtoolnix-x.y.z
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-ogg-prefix=/usr/local \
|
|
|
|
|
--with-vorbis-prefix=/usr/local
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
7) Be happy and drink some milk. Moooo!

|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're sure you've found a bug - e.g. if one of my programs crashes
|
|
|
|
|
with an obscur error message, or if the resulting file is missing part
|
|
|
|
|
of the original data, then by all means submit a bug report.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I use Anthill (http://www.bunkus.org/anthill/index.php) as my bug
|
|
|
|
|
database. You can submit your bug reports there. Please be as verbose
|
|
|
|
|
as possible - e.g. include the command line, if you use Windows or
|
|
|
|
|
Linux etc.pp. If at all possible please include sample files as well
|
|
|
|
|
so that I can reproduce the issue. If they are larger than 1M then
|
|
|
|
|
please upload them somewhere and post a link in the Anthill bug
|
|
|
|
|
report.
