AVI SDK
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Bill Cunningham on 7 Mar 2010 15:22 I would like to build an AVI viewer and diagnostic for windows. Are there specific libraries that are needed? I have the specs and the headers for C but need something to link to. I'm using gcc and lcc as compilers. I know several BMPs can be combined into an AVI. Does the win32 API have the necessary libraries ? Bill

It contains API documentation, headers, libraries, samples, the Microsoft Windows C/C++ compilers (command-line version), and the MSBUILD build utilities. You'll find info about AVI files under the "Windows Multimedia" subsection of Win32 and COM Development, Graphics and Multimedia. You might be able to jig the SDK bits to work with gcc or lcc. But in the first instance, I'd recommend using the Microsoft C/C++ compiler until you've got the hang of the API. Then have a go at porting your working project from MS C to gcc. Hope it helps, Andrew -- amclar at optusnet dot com dot au

If in doubt, read this section on the page: <quote> To find the right Windows SDK release for your needs, refer to the �Which SDK is right for me?� table. In most cases, you should use the most recent Windows SDK release, which supports several Windows operating systems and .NET Framework versions. For more information, see Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). </quote> Most likely you'll want: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=150217&clcid=0x409 Andrew

I got Error messages. I can get platform SDK to install. Is that what I want? Bill |
