Goal: This cource code (in C) uses the SDL or AquaTerm libraries to display a YUV video. So far, the player only displays 4:2:0 YUV format.
- Compilation (on MS Windows XP):
NOTE: There is a SDL incompatibility on Windows Vista (oct 12th 2010).
Download all needed tools
get the YUVplayer package.
get dev-cpp:
http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html
Install SDL
In Dev-Cpp :
Go in "Tools-> Check for updates/Packages"
select the devpacks.org server.
Then click "check for updates"
select
- SDL
click "download selected" and proceed to the installation.
Set up Dev-Cpp for the compilation
Make sure that the following settings are correct in Dev-Cpp:
In the Menu :
->Tools->Compiler options:
- Compiler:
Add the following command...:
-Wall -O2 -g -Wall -fexpensive-optimizations -funroll-loops -DNDEBUG
Add these commands to the linker...:
-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lm
- Directories->Binaries
C:\Dev-Cpp\bin
- Directories->Libraries
C:\Dev-Cpp\lib
- Directories->C include
C:\Dev-Cpp\include
C:\Dev-Cpp\include\SDL
You should have SDL.dll in your path, so you can either
- copy SDL.dll from C:\Dev-Cpp\bin into the YUVplayer directory, or
- add C:\Dev-Cpp\bin in your PATH:
Right click on "My Computer", then "Properties", Click the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment variables", click "New" and add PATH as the variable name and C:\Dev-Cpp\bin for the value.
Compile the dev-cpp project
Finally, open SDL_YUVplayer.c with Dev-Cpp and compile using "Execute->Rebuild All"
