Llink:Compiling

WARNING; This page needs updating soon, for libdvdread->libdvdnav changes

Compiling Instructions

When compiling llink you need to chose if you want to use OpenSSL, libdvdread and libdvdcss. Generally we have no reason to use SSL with link so I will skip this compile time step.

Unix, OsX and other native compiles

The default should work.

# ./configure --without-openssl
# make
# file src/llink

The file command is not necessary, but it shows you where we expect the binary to end up.

# ./configure --without-openssl 
# make

If you want to build libdvdcss in statically (so there is just one binary, no shared library dependencies)

# cd libdvdcss-1.2.10
# ./configure --enable-static
# make
# cd ../
# cd llink-2.2.0
# ./configure --without-openssl --with-dvdcss-tree=`pwd`/../libdvdcss-1.2.10/
# make

Windows

Download Visual Devstudio C++ 2008 from (insert microsoft link) and install. Download source package, and load the llink.vcproj inside "win32/" directory. Change the default project from libdirlist to llink and hit compile.

Cross Compile

For example when compiling for the PCH A-100, you download the toolchain that applies to your arch. In this case, it installs into /usr/local/mips/ with a gcc binary named as /usr/local/mips/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc.

First make sure your PATH is updated so that it can find the executable.

# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mips/bin/
# which mipsel-linux-gcc
/usr/local/mips/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc

Great. If you want to have libdvdcss we need to compile that first. If you do not, you can skip this step.

# cd src/libdvdcss-1.2.10/
# ./configure --host=mipsel-linux-uclibc --enable-static
# make
# file src/.libs/libdvdcss.*
src/.libs/libdvdcss.a:        current ar archive
src/.libs/libdvdcss.so.2.0.8: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, MIPS, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
(a few other files, but at least one shows its compiled as MIPS)

Note that we have to use the full path /home/lundman/src/ to get to the libdvdcss-1.2.10/src includes.

Compiling llink. Now it is time to compile llink itself. The version number might change of course.

# cd src/llink-2.2.0/
# ./configure --host=mipsel-linux --enable-static --without-openssl  --with-dvdcss-tree=/home/lundman/src/libdvdcss-1.2.10/
# make
# file src/llink
src/llink: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

Naturally, if you do not want libdvdcss go with the shorter line:

# ./configure --host=mipsel-linux --enable-static --without-openssl
# make
