[vlc] Re: compiling vlc 0.6

[Simon]

I had similar problem compiling cvs 0.6.0 under RH7.3. This is what I had to
do.

1. go to ffmpeg directory, which in my case was at the same level as
vlc-0.6.0. I did the usual thing:
make distclean (start with a clean distribution)
./configure -enable-shared
make

2. libmpeg2: I downloaded the CVS version from
http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/files/mpeg2dec-snapshot.tar.gz
Again expanded the file in a directory at the same level as vlc-0.6.0, using
the following command
tar jxvf mpeg2dec-snapshot.tar.gz (It expands files in a directory called
mpeg2dec-0.3.2-cvs)
cd mpeg2dec-0.3.2-cvs
make distclean   (start from a clean slate)
./configure
cd libmpeg2 (this is important - this version of mpeg2dec did not compile in
my case. This is where I had help from the videolan team)
make (this is all that is needed for our purposes)

3. Go to vlc-0.6.0 directory and execute - note the "-with-ffmpeg-tree" and
"-with-libmpeg2-tree" options, make sure the path is correct. It is very
easy to mistype the path:

./configure --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-tree=../ffmpeg-20030612 --enable-d
vdread --enable-faad \
--with-faad-tree=../faad2-20030612 --enable-arts --with-libmpeg2-tree=../mpe
g2dec-0.3.2-cvs

Ofcourse you may not need all the configuration options.

I hope I managed to recollect the steps correctly, otherwise let me know I
will be happy to look into my script and good luck.
Regards
Simon

thanks for your reply but I was not clear enough (sorry)

I used the one given on the site (ffmpeg-20030612.tar.bz2).
It's this one which is not detected by the configure script of vlc (even
if properly compiled and installed).


I cannot get the CVS version as the port is not open here.
