Building vlc to be able to run it as root

Postby Scorpion2185 » 22 Nov 2018 21:51

I' m on debian 9, I built vlc from the source.
I ran ./configure with the flag --enable-run-as-root.
But I don' t have the interface.
If i run vlc-wrapper it won' t start because:

Code: Select all

vlc-wrapper Cannot determine unprivileged user for VLC!
If I run vlc:

Code: Select all

vlc VLC media player 4.0.0-dev Otto Chriek (revision 4.0.0-dev-5264-gd9735b44f4) [0000564f9cd021a0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

Type `help' for help. >
If I launch it from Application nothing happens.
If I run nvlc from the folder I get a very spartan interface (that is indeed a terminal).
Why do not I have the interface? If I open a video there aren' t any buttons.
(I need to run it as root).

Could be many reasons - most likely you failed to build or install properly.

Hi,

what do you have when you launch vlc -vvv ? if you don't find a vlc qt check failed, you might have not built the Qt interface.

vlc -vvv vlc: error while loading shared libraries: libvlc.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
How can I build the Qt interface?

I installed all packages in the guide https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile.
I used build-dep vlc and I installed all libvlc-* packages.
Do I need something else qt-related?

Why? I tried one of the many interfaces "available" that I found with `vlc -l`, but "cannot start any interface".

Re: Building vlc to be able to run it as root [SOLVED]

Postby Scorpion2185 » 02 Dec 2018 12:24

Since I built it some times. I did it form scratch now configure:

Code: Select all

error: Requested 'Qt5Core >= 5.9.0' but version of Qt5 Core is 5.7.1. If you want to build VLC without GUI, pass --disable-qt.
But i have the newest version:

Code: Select all

qtbase5-dev is already the newest version (5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1).
So I successfully built vlc 3.0 :D (sse my other post for help https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=147244)

If you're running ubuntu 18.04, you need to install it from the website or update your distribution.
