[vlc] Re: how to find out compile options

[Alec Robertson]

Hi,

> Is somebody knows how to compile vlc with mp3, ogg and all network support ?

Add these options to vlc configure:
   --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-ogg 
To see all the configure options: "./configure --help"

> I think i have to compile ffmpeg as well ?

Yes, get the latest from svn and configure with: 
    svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
    ./configure --enable-pthreads --enable-shared \
                --enable-mp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-pp 

> I am running a debian unstable. Any package 0.8.5 with all these "options" ?

Unstable already has 0.8.5 which has dependencies on the ffmpeg
libraries, so I'm guessing it does have those options. Otherwise,
from the vlc website: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-debian.html

>     is there a command i can use to see what options a vlc binary was compiled

Doing "ldd /usr/local/bin/vlc" will show those external libraries linked
in, but this doesn't help in your python-bindings case. On debian you can 
download the src package "apt-get src vlc" and check the configure 
parameters.
