hello,

after compiling the current vlc source code (0.84a) using ubuntu 5.10 i cannot start vlc using the wxwidget graphical interface. starting vlc -I wxwidgets does not help, it shows the following output:

Code: Select all

the verbose mode does not tell me anything about the gui nor a malfunction of it.

what is wrong here?

Hello

You proably didn't tell ./configure what modules you want. WxWidgets isn't installed by default - you have to tell ./configure you want it.

Official How-to
http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/nix-compile.html

What I used:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --disable-gtk --enable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-tree=/home/user/code/vlc/ffmpeg-20051126 --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --enable-dts --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-dvdnav --enable-faad --with-faad-tree=/home/user/code/vlc/faad2-20040923 --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac --enable-mkv --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-caca --enable-skins --enable-skins2 --enable-alsa --disable-kde --disable-qt --enable-wxwindows --enable-ncurses --enable-release --disable-livedotcom     --with-libmpeg2-tree=/home/user/code/vlc/mpeg2dec-0.4.1-cvs

Having said that, I can't see any proper errors about this in the output, so if the above didn't apply you can chack what interfaces you have installed:

Code: Select all

vlc -l | grep -i interface

or try and force use of wxwidgets

Code: Select all

vlc -I wx

thx for your reply. i assumed, that the entries in the configure file are correct. there it says that wxwidget is enabled by default.

but it will try it with your command parameters.
