no makefile when build vlc

Postby rongyihit » 18 Mar 2010 10:16

Hi:
i downloaded the source code of the latest version of vlc hours ago. I was preparing to install it in my Fedora, however, when I wanted to build it with direction make as the INSTALL said, there was no makefile. I tried to run Makefile.am, but it didn't work and told me some commands not found. What is the matter, and how can I solve the problem?

Run ./bootstrap and then ./configure
Still doesn't work. No makefile is generated. :(

Then read the output of configure and config.log and find out why configure doesn't succeed.

Should all checking results be yes if I can make?

not necessarly. But look at the end of the mesage of configure in the terminal. It should be quite obvious why it's not happy

Should I disable those options that are enabled default if I don't want to use them?
