Building vlc with minimal configuration

[dapeco]

Hello,

I would like to compile a vlc versione, with only h264/aac and xvid/mp3 decoding/encoding for doing streaming (RTP). I don't need any gui or other orphel because is on minimalistic debian dist.

I've tried a lot of configure command, but I'm unable to compile v 0.9.5 (same that are disable are anyway requested...) and 0.8.6i have problem with x264.c module.

can you suggest me a right ./configure command for a minimal configuration?

Thanks

Look at the configure file and add all --disable- that you don't need.
For example for 0.9 you will obviously add --disable-qt4

And if you have some problem to compile we need the log if you wan help...

I've compiled vlc with this ./configure options:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/home/vlc/ --disable-hal --disable-dbus --disable-dbus-control --disable-telepathy --disable-optimize-memory --enable-debug --enable-run-as-root --enable-release --enable-sout --enable-switcher --enable-shout --enable-vlm --enable-notify --disable-audioscrobbler --disable-taglib --enable-live555 --disable-dvdnav --disable-smb --enable-dvbpsi --disable-v4l2 --disable-libv4l2 --disable-libcdio --disable-libvcdinfo --disable-libcddb --disable-cdda --disable-vcd --disable-dvb --disable-screen --enable-ogg --enable-mkv --disable-mod --disable-mpc --disable-gme --disable-mad --disable-id3tag --enable-avcodec --enable-avformat --enable-swscale --enable-postproc --enable-faad --enable-realrtsp --disable-libtar --disable-a52 --disable-dca --disable-libmpeg2 --enable-vorbis --disable-speex --disable-schroedinger --enable-png --enable-x264 --disable-fluidsynth --disable-zvbi --disable-telx --disable-cmml --disable-kate --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-glx --disable-xinerama --disable-opengl --disable-sdl --disable-sdl-image --enable-freetype --disable-fribidi --disable-fontconfig --enable-libxml2 --disable-oss --disable-pulse --disable-alsa --disable-upnp --disable-skins2 --disable-qt4 --disable-ncurses --disable-visual --disable-atmo --disable-bonjour --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --enable-vlc --disable-activex --disable-testsuite

Compiled, packed and installed. Than I have use this command:

Code: Select all

./cvlc /home/www/brusasco.org/htdocs/meridiane_new.mp4 --sout '#duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,sdp=file:///usr/local/WowzaMediaServerPro/content/vlc.sdp}}'

And I get this error:

Code: Select all

[00000001] main libvlc debug: translation test: code is "en_GB" [00000557] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module... [00000561] main stream out error: no sout stream module matched "rtp" [00000560] stream_out_duplicate stream out error: no destination given [00000559] main stream output error: stream chain failed for `duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,sdp=file:///usr/local/WowzaMediaServerPro/content/vlc.sdp}}' [00000558] main input error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting

Any ideas of what is going wrong?

Thanks

Could you run the same command but with -vvv (verbose mode) and without the 'duplicate'

Thank You for the help!

Did you check that compile went ok? seems that you don't have rtp-module compiled/installed correctly there.

Yes, the compile or the make went ok. But I don't know why the rtp module isn't compiled and installed... I tried all the version from 0.9.0 to 0.9.5 and git version (that give me problem with checkinstall packing, but went ok with make install) but this module seems to be a ghost...
