vlc java bindings with ubuntu

[benog]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to use the precompiled jvlc.jar (http://trac.videolan.org/jvlc/wiki/download) to develop a java application. The jvlc FAQ (http://trac.videolan.org/jvlc/wiki/faq) says that therefore the library libvlc-control is needed. However, this library does not come with a vlc installation on ubuntu. In /usr/lib only libvlc is available, but not libvlc-control. Is there any possibility to use the jvlc-jar on ubuntu? How to obtain this libvlc-control library?

Thanks!

You will need to compile and install vlc from sources. Be sure you use the git version.

Cheers,
