When I compile VLC, I have this error:

gcc -Wsign-compare -Wall -pipe -o libopengl_plugin.so libopengl_plugin.a -L/usr/lib -shared -lpthread -fpic -fPIC -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGL -lGLU -u vlc_entry__0_8_4
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

What am I supposed to do???

You havn't got the GL library (ie you've got a missing dependancy). You should be able to get around this (I hope) by specifying --disable-glx when you run ./configure. Alternatively, you could install the X11 OpenGL (GLX) library.

Open GL library is installed, but Xandros is modifying the system a lot so it can be the reason.
Anyway I'll try this command, thank you.
