I am able to compile successfully (VLC SVN), using

./configure --with-ffmpeg-tree=../ffmpeg --enable-faad --with-faad-tree=../faad2-20040923 --enable-esd --enable-flac --enable-theora --enable-libvc1 --with-libvc1-tree=../libvc1-1.0 --disable-hal --enable-wxwidgets --disable-wxwindows

do note that it was only possible to compile after adding "--enable-wxwidgets --disable-wxwindows".

upon launching, vlc seems fine. however, i cannot open any window dialogs. Videos can run, albeit sluggishly.

Code: Select all

torx@torx:~/videolan/vlc-trunk$ vlc
VLC media player 0.9.0-svn Grishenko
[00000577] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any"
[00000574] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
[00000574] skins2 interface: skin: VLC 0.8.5 Default Skin  author: aLtgLasS
[00000633] message access warning: message queue overflowed
[00000653] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any"
[00000574] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
[00000654] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any"
[00000574] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)

Solutions i have tried:
1. "--disable-skins2", does not disable the skin somehow.
2. install all possible wxwidgets/wxgtk/wxwindows package.
3. I have tried adding /usr/local/lib to ld.so.conf, and ran ldconfig.

i am running ubuntu edgy.

please throw me some advise.

thanks in advance.

remove the --disable-wxwindows, and recompile
because wxwindows is equivalent to wxwidgets, it just means that their name changed

so --disable-wxwindows means you disabled the wxwidgets interface

Hi, thanks for response.

I did what you recommended, however, my make fails with

Code: Select all

make[6]: *** [libwxwidgets_plugin.la] Error 1
make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/torx/videolan/vlc-trunk/modules/gui/wxwidgets'

how can i go about solving this wxwidgets issue? i have installed every single package with relation to wxwidgets/wxgtk/wxwindows in my package manager.

Have you configured the wxwidgets lib with:

./configure --enable-unicode --with-x11

before compiling? I had the same problems. After recompiling the wxwidgets withe the above mentioned configuration and the following additional switches to configure vlc everything will be fine.

--enable-wxwidgets --with-wx-config-path=/folder_to/wxWidgets-2.6.3 \
--enable-skins \
--enable-skins2 \

bye

@torx

the interesting line in your compile line are the 2 or three line before make[6]: *** [libwxwidgets_plugin.la] Error 1

All my wxwidgets were installed from package manager, so i cannot do any configurations.

Should i remove it and compile it myself instead? Which version should i use?

It worked! That was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much

What will happen when "wx-config --unicode=no"??
