The VideoLAN Forums

The page https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-gentoo.html seems to be outdated. A couple of use flags which are recommended do not exist anymore. It would be great if a developer who actually knows the effect of each use flag could update that list. I assume that simply deleting all non-existing use flags is not sufficient. Probably some new use flags which did no exist when that page was written must be added, too.

Here is a list of use flags which are not supported anymore:

• aac - Maybe replaced by faad? Supported by media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta.
• cdda - Supported by media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta.
• cdio - Supported by media-video/ffmpeg.
• freetype
• gnutls- Supported by media-video/ffmpeg.
• httpd
• oggvorbis
• stream
• svga
• vcd - Supported by media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta.
• vlm
• wxwindows
• xv
