Compile VLC 0.9.6 on Debian Etch. 3 problems, some solutions

[peter.senna]

Hi!

I'm compiling VLC 0.9.6 for Debian Etch using kernel 2.6.26-bpo.1-686 from backports.

I found compatibility problem with avcodec, avformat, avutil and postproc that came with Debian, this is why "apt-get build-dep vlc" does not work. Also, ffmpeg from SVN does not work too. See steps for compile below.

Now I have 3 problems:
1 - ./configure does not detect pulse audio. Does not matter what Etch packages I install. Is this bad?
2 - When using v4l2, I can capture video and audio, even from ALSA(audio device hw.1), but I can only convert the image. It is impossible to save sound to disk. See output:
ALSA lib pcm.c:2143:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM
[00000598] v4l2 demux error: cannot open device for ALSA audio (File not found)
[00000598] v4l2 demux error: cannot open device for OSS audio (File not found)
Can this be related somehow to missing pulse audio support? Or can this be related to --disable-live555?
3 - Where is v4l capture module? How to enable it?


avcodec, avformat, avutil and postproc compatibility issue was solved...
Removing some packages:
dpkg -r libavcodec0d vlc-nox libavformat0d libxine1 kmplayer-common vlc kmplayer-plugin

and installing packages from http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/ ... nary-i386/:
dpkg -i libavcodeccvs51_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libavcodeccvs51-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libavformatcvs51_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libavformatcvs51-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libavutilcvs49-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libpostproccvs51_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libpostproccvs51-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libswscalecvs0_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libswscalecvs0-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb

then:
apt-get -f install (see my /etc/apt/sources.list in the end of the post)

and (again, this is correct):
dpkg -i libavcodeccvs51_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libavcodeccvs51-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libavformatcvs51_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libavformatcvs51-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libavutilcvs49-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libpostproccvs51_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libpostproccvs51-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libswscalecvs0_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb libswscalecvs0-dev_20070329-0.0etch1_i386.deb

then:
apt-get install libgcrypt11-dev libfribidi-dev libmad0-dev libasound2-dev libhal-dev libqt4-dev module-assistant liblame-dev libxvidcore4-dev zvbi libzvbi-common libzvbi0 libsdl-image1.2-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libdvdread-dev libdvdnav-dev libsmbclient-dev libdvbpsi3-dev libcdio-dev libcdio-cdda-dev libvcdinfo-dev libcddb2-dev libebml-dev libmodplug-dev libmpcdec-dev libid3tag0-dev libsysfs-dev libtar-dev libmpeg2-4-dev libspeex-dev libfluidsynth-dev libxv-dev libxxf86vm-dev x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev libwbxml2-dev libupnp-dev libgnutls-dev

and:
m-a prepare

Hello,
some things that's may help you to build vlc:
* if you can, upgrade to lenny or sid your debian that's better if you want to compile vlc
* about pulse audio, I guess that you had forgotten to install libpulse-dev

[peter.senna]

Hi Ivoire.

Thanks for the help.

But unfortunately I can't install other Debian than Etch.

About pulse audio, I had installed all packages related to pulse audio, including libpulse-dev. No idea why ./configure does not detect it. Can you help me discovering it?

That's a shame

About pulse audio, I had installed all packages related to pulse audio, including libpulse-dev. No idea why ./configure does not detect it. Can you help me discovering it?

Coulmd you paste somewhere the config.log file ?

[peter.senna]

The log is available at:
http://petersenna.com/files/config.log

[xtophe]

Requested 'libpulse >= 0.9.8' but version of libpulse is 0.9.5
configure:58164: result: no
configure:58166: WARNING: pulseaudio library not found


That explains why the pulseaudio module is not built

[sc43]

Did you ever get VLC 0.9.6 to work on Debian Etch? If so could you send me the package? Thanks..

[isync]

Following this vlc compile guide, I was able to build a stripped down vlc 1.1.0 on my Debian Etch system today! Jay!

And/or: There might be no need to build yourself:
Grendelman.net states to provide a 0.9.8a package via sipo.nl.
I may be too stupid to use aptitude but firing "aptitude -t etch-custom install vlc" just does nothing and tells me my 0.8.6a version is up to date...
