Compiling VLC in Visual Studio 2013

[Django_Untaken]

Hello. I am trying to compile VLC player source code in visual studio. I have got all the header and implementation files. But I am getting alot of errors (77K+ to be precise). There are some options that have to changed to compile it successfully? What should I look for? Thanks.

The first one I would guess at is to turn the unicode on the API interface off. Project->Properties->configuration properties->character set It will be defaulted to "Use Unicode Character Set" change it to "not set" However I seem to recall you can't compile VLC on visual studio because it needs MingGW-64 and that won't compile on Visual Studio because of C++ abi and name convention differences. So unless things have changed I think it is not possible.
