Is planned a 64bits version of VLC?

[Guest]

Hi to all ,

I try some players , but all are 32bits , because their codecs are 32 bit binaries.

I would like to use VLC with 64 bits native support , and leave chroot and duplicated libraries (32 bits and 64 bits versions).

Is planned a stable 64bits version of VLC?

You can already compile vlc on 64 bits architectures. There's by example an amd64 debian package

you need to have the X11 developement headers installed on your computer.

[Melcom]

I have the same problem at compilation. I have the X11 header and developpement file installed but i doesn't find the X11 library. I use a Suse 10 on an Amd64.

I need some help.

Same error message here, with Suse 10.0 64bits. I have X11 devel packages installed.

See that: http://www.pandillabuitre.com/yast2.png

Thanks for your tip.
I have xorg-x11-devel 6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 installed although I dont plan to use graphical desktop. My plan is to use VLC for streaming my Sky-Star 1 DVB card to LAN. But without success

Another solution anyone ? There is some incompatible problem in X11...

i have this problem too, someone please reply, i also have installed the dev package

[BigBen]

Well, a quick fix is to configure with --disable-screen if you don't need the desktop capture access module

[darkknight9]

I have the same problem. It seems it's looking for libX11.so under /usr/X11R6/lib while it should actually be looking at /usr/X11R6/lib64. Any ideas anyone?

I've run into this before with other programs. Some developers never expected to find the X11 libs anywhere else on a Linux box, so hard coded the path in.
The last thing that did this to me, I hacked it's makefile. The odd thing with this one is that it found the /usr/lib64 stuff, but not X

[darkknight9]

Looking at the SPEC file from the Dries rpm repository, the ./configure option needed is:

--x-libraries="/usr/X11R6/lib64"

[Zellolo]

you need to have the X11 developement headers installed on your computer.

where can I find it?

[Zellolo]

You can already compile vlc on 64 bits architectures. There's by example an amd64 debian package

how can I compile it?

[funman]

type "sudo apt-get build-dep vlc"

~100MB to download

[Zellolo]

type "sudo apt-get build-dep vlc"

~100MB to download

"Is impossible find a package for vlc"

[funman]

what is in your /etc/apt/sources.list ?

[Zellolo]

what is in your /etc/apt/sources.list ?

nvm, i have installed the 32 bit linux version. ^^
