VLC 0.86 compilation error : liblamemp3

[Shirase]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile the new VLC on my Debian sarge, but I'm stuck in the make with :

Code: Select all

(cd ffmpeg; ./configure --enable-mp3lame --enable-faac --prefix=/home/user/vlc-0.8.6a/extras/contrib --extra-cflags="-I/home/user/vlc-0.8.6a/extras/contrib/include -I/include -DRUNTIME_CPUDETECT" --extra-ldflags="-L/home/user/vlc-0.8.6a/extras/contrib/lib " --enable-gpl --enable-pp --disable-vhook --disable-ffserver --disable-network --enable-a52 --disable-ffplay && make install-libs install-headers) Unknown option "--enable-mp3lame".

I've read the correct option is --enable-libmp3lame, but i dont know how to change it. I cannot compile ffmeg from src/ffmpeg, ./configure -- enable-libmp3lame returns : LAME not found...

Thanks for your replies

Hi,

In order to go over this error, you can edit the file Makefile in ./extra/contrib/src/

So you edit ./extra/contrib/src/Makefile

Look for

Code: Select all

cd ffmpeg; ./configure --enable-mp3lame --enable-faac --prefix=/home/user/vlc-0.8.6a/extras/contrib --extra-cflags="-I/home/user/vlc-0.8.6a/extras/contrib/include -I/include -DRUNTIME_CPUDETECT" --extra-ldflags="-L/home/user/vlc-0.8.6a/extras/contrib/lib " --enable-gpl --enable-pp --disable-vhook --disable-ffserver --disable-network --enable-a52 --disable-ffplay && make install-libs install-headers)

inside the code using the search function.

change --enable-mp3lame to --enable-libmp3lame but also
--enable-faac to --enable-libfaac
--enable-a52 to --enable-liba52

Save your changes and go back to ./extra/contrib/

Run the make command and now the compilation process should go on.

Good luck
Eric

If your system doesn't have Lame lib, you can also do an

sudo apt-cache search lame

and then install the good liblame from the list with the command

sudo apt-get install liblame... liblame...-dev ...

Then try to run again the make command.
