A megapack with all dependencies is available to download! Note that VLC for Slackware 12.0 have both Qt4 and Wx interface!

Dear Forum,

I was just wondering, if you run this package on slack and fires up vlc with a playlist of tv shows that total some 8 hours like so:

vlc playlist.m3u --sout '#transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=192}:std{access=udp,mux=,dst=239.255.255.254}'

..do you have the same phenomena as on FreeBSD/Fedora that it runs out of memory and stops with either the dreaded 'Killed' or a core dump?

If not, please let me know!

A new Slackware package is ready to download!

The new package have FFmpeg and wxGtk(Unicode) compiled statically. This solve the problem with FFmeg and the new wxWidgets 2.8.0.

The new package is compiled with Avahi support!

Would it be possible to create a fully compartmentalized package like Per Allansson's? Instead of requiring to install dependencies.

Also, it is stuck on the PDA interface and can't turn it off.

i agree, can't you make a package including all the dependencies instead of splitting 1 thing up?

Hi!
I use your packages. But I have problem with h264.
When I try use it , vlc says that it can not find it. I'm not sure why because I installed all packages including h264.
do you have similar problem?

Regards,
Hans

The wxwidgets interface doesn't work. It isn't able to find the wxwidgets plugin and of the 72 dependencies I don't see a wxgtk package, but as you said it should be compiled statically. The *.so for the plugin exists but it isn't finding it.

The PDA interface isn't opening any files.

What about VLC package for slackware 12? The package from the official site works great but it is old and for slackware 10.x

The latest vlc (as of march16 2008) 0.8.6e which is for slack12.0 (maybe earlier ones as well ?) can be got from http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-1 ... lc/0.8.6e/
there is also a dependencies tar.gz file which you need so that vlc will work (unless you have downloaded all the dependancies already).
Extract the contents of this file, then run
installpkg *.tgz
on the contents of the dependencies directory, and vlc will work

Great work guys!

Keep them coming, Slackware rules big time, and the package for vlc is just great.

how about a slackbuild script
not only would a slackbuild script make updating the slackpkg easier
(newer version of VLC and newer version of slackware after all this is how slackware it self is maintained )
it would also make it easier to install VLC on 64bit rebuilds of slackware

I guess you have not yet found my vlc.SlackBuild for the 0.9.1 release at http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/vlctest/ ... This is my "all-in-one" build script that pulls in all dependencies (downloads missing sources if needed) and creates one self-contained package.

Note that the slacky.eu folks also provide a SlackBuild for 0.9.x... but they rely on the fact that you should have installed a lot of dependency packages already, before you start the VLC build.
