Suppressing Debug Info

[syaik]

Is there some sort of flag I need to define at compile time of my program in order to suppress debug info? I've been looking through the API and the headers in /usr/include/vlc and haven't come up with much. Thanks.

Basically, I would like to be able to suppress the following from being output when I start my program, which uses libvlc:

Code: Select all

On taking a second look, I noticed that this info occurs just when I run vlc. Am I correct in assuming that this implies that the vlc package (Ubuntu 9.04) I'm using was compiled with debug info, which means I'll need to fetch a fresh copy?

Thanks!

Are you using the "-vvv" option while running vlc? This makes it highly verbose.

[syaik]

I am not. Here's are the arguments I'm passing into libvlc_new():

Code: Select all

const char* const vlc_args[] = { "-I", "dummy", // Don't use any interface "--ignore-config", // Don't use VLC's config "--quiet", "-v 0", };
