VLC-2.1.5
Introduction to VLC
VLC is a media player, streamer,
and encoder. It can play from many inputs like files, network
streams, capture device, desktops, or DVD, SVCD, VCD, and audio CD.
It can play most audio and video codecs (MPEG 1/2/4, H264, VC-1,
DivX, WMV, Vorbis, AC3, AAC, etc.), but can also convert to
different formats and/or send streams through the network.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7
platform.

Installation of VLC
Install VLC by running the
following commands:
sed -i 's:libsmbclient.h:samba-4.0/&:' modules/access/smb.c &&
./bootstrap &&
sed "s:< 56:< 57:g" -i configure &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
sed -i 's/luaL_optint/(int)&eger/' modules/lua/libs/{net,osd,volume}.c &&
sed -i 's/luaL_checkint(/(int)luaL_checkinteger(/' \
modules/lua/{demux,libs/{configuration,net,osd,playlist,stream,variables,volume}}.c &&
make
To test the results, issue: make
check.
Now, as the root
user:
Note
If the XORG_PREFIX is not /usr, make sure the LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable is set properly when doing the install, For
example: sudo make
LIBRARY_PATH=$XORG_PREFIX/lib ... install.
make docdir=/usr/share/doc/vlc-2.1.5 install
Note
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor
hierarchy and desktop
files into the /usr/share/applications
hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme
and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.26 or
GTK+-3.14.8 installed (for the icon cache) and
desktop-file-utils-0.22 (for the
desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the
root
user:
gtk-update-icon-cache &&
update-desktop-database
