VLC代码树详解

VLC代码树详解/黑客指南

本翻译的官方网址为https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_source_tree/

说明VLC源码各部分功能大致说明。下面是正式翻译。

为了让读者对VLC源代码有总体的了解，本网页列出VLC源码各目录的具体作用。一个新的IT开发人士接触VLC SOURCE代码时，因大脑里对VLC没有太多的知识积累，可能会被这么多的目录吓到，（我靠，这么多目录怎么学啊），这里我们就为你排忧解难。

在下图的表格中，我们按字母顺序列出目录的每一项，图中对应的右面会大致说明目录及其子文件夹是为了实现什么功能；

Directory Name	Directory Explanation
bindings	Java, CIL and Python bindings
contrib	for required libraries (contains Makefiles to automatically download and compile (or cross-compile) and patch those). Please first attempt to get the development headers precompiled for your distribution.
doc	Documentation (not up-to-date)
extras	See below
include	Header files for VLC
lib	Contains all LibVLC control code
m4	Macro files needed for automake and autoconf
modules	The most important directory besides src/. See Modules source tree.
po	i18n (language translation) files
projects	Projects based on libvlc, Mozilla plugin, ActiveX plugin and Mac OS X Framework
share	icons, scripts to make VLC the default player etc.
src	The most important directory besides modules/. See src source tree.
test	scripts to see if everything is OK

下面的列表是extras目录的说明。

extras/analyser	contains some code style editor (vim, emacs) macro and some valgrind suppressions
extras/buildsystem	contains alternative buildsystems
extras/deprecated	contains deprecated files
extras/misc	contains files that don’t fit into any other category
extras/package	contains distribution specific files such as ipkg, different rpm spec files, win32 and Mac OS X installation files.

以上就是各目录的说明，具体目录的作用就不再翻译为中文，因涉及许多专业词汇。
