I'm trying to install vlc-srpos-plugin (a VLC plugin that remembers your video position) on Ubuntu.

I've downloaded and extracted libsrpos_plugin-*.tar.gz (for Linux or Unix systems)

The instructions say:

Unix/Linux and similar systems: Build and install plugin module (Use configure options to specify VLC include/library/output paths (--with-vlc-*-path options)):

Code: Select all
./configure make make install

When I run ./configure without options I get configure: error: VLC plugin headers not found (full output here) but I can't work out what --with-vlc-*-path option values to use.

The relevant options seem to have these names:

Code: Select all

$ grep "\-\-with\-vlc\-" configure
  --with-vlc-include-path location of the VLC SDK headers, defaults to
  --with-vlc-lib-path     location of the vlccore library
  --with-vlc-plugin-path  location of the VLC plugin modules, defaults to

but what values should I use for Ubuntu 12.04?

Extra info:

Code: Select all

$ whereis vlc
vlc: /usr/bin/vlc /etc/vlc /usr/lib/vlc /usr/bin/X11/vlc /usr/share/vlc /usr/share/man/man1/vlc.1.gz

I'd be super grateful for some assistance! I can provide further details if required.

I don't know srpos specifically. Nevertheless, you probably need to install libvlc-dev if you want to compile a VLC plugin yourself on Debian or Ubuntu.

Brilliant! I installed libvlc-dev and configure worked first time, without any options.

Thanks for the help!

It is not working for me. I'm running VLC 2.0.9 "Twoflower" on Ubuntu 12.04. Here's what I did:

1. Followed these instructions: http://vlcsrposplugin.sourceforge.net/
2. $ sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev
3. $ ./configure && make && make install
4. I got the error shown below.

In file included from srpos.c:30:0:
vlc_interface.h:112:1: error: unknown type name 'vlc_log_t'
vlc_interface.h:117:37: error: conflicting types for 'msg_subscription_t'
/usr/include/vlc/plugins/vlc_messages.h:68:35: note: previous declaration of 'msg_subscription_t' was here
make: *** [libsrpos_plugin_la-srpos.lo] Error 1

The entire log is here: http://pastebin.com/KRmwQNSe

Anyone know the issue?

I got the same problem MountainX : apparently, you need either a newer version of VLC, or replace a file in srpos as explained in the link below
