The VideoLAN Forums

Got a new Eee pc I am trying to install this on. I have tried numerous things:
----
add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sarge main
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sarge main
For a normal install, do:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install vlc libdvdcss2
----

and variances of the above (from the webpages on the site).

I seemed to get libdvdcss2 to install ok, but VLC gives me a list of unmet dependecies and I am not sure what to do.

I downloaded the source, but of course, this little thing doesn't have a compiler...

So where do I go from here?

Hi DON'T use debian repositories in your EEE sources.list UNLESS you have pinned your system; this can break your install and youll need to reinstall

VLC 0.8.6a binaries are in the default xandros repositories. If you need higher version, compile from source, its easy

just be sure to install all the wx libraries

VLC 0.8.6a binaries are in the default xandros repositories

Ok. Forgive my ignorance please... where are these xandros repositories and how do I access them?

thank you.

please follow this guide to add reporitories :

then you should have access to vlc binaries

Thank you!
Works GREAT!
