I can't seem to compile VLC no matter what options I use. I've searched and have found no answer. Basically it errors out with the error below. If it doesn't give me that error, it's some other plugin like avcodec(though recompiling ffmpeg fixed that, I think?) or a52, and I'd probably get others with different config options. I've tried disabling/enabling all options, some options and other options I don't remember. I've followed the instructions and I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

My system is: Bluewhite64 12.1(same as slack except 64bit), kernel 2.6.26.5, gcc 4.3.2, abit ix38quadgt, e2180 pentium dual core, evga 7950gt, auzentech xmeridian sound card.

Looks like too old (or too recent?) libvorbis

Posted: **03 Oct 2008 03:19**

I have libvorbis 1.2.0. Is that a problem? I would think the latest version would be best. I tried 1.1.2 and got the same error.

What are Tpo and Plo files? I noticed they just released a new theora and got some errors with state.Tpo/Plo. Maybe this has to do with the problem?

I noticed it seems to look for libs in /usr/lib when I have most of these libraries in /usr/local/lib. Like this:

Code: Select all

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libgpg-error.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libgpg-error.la'
make[5]: *** [librtp_plugin.la] Error 1

I have /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib64 in ld.so.conf. I've tried export LD_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib but no go.

Posted: **05 Oct 2008 00:12**

ld.so.conf and LD_CONFIG_PATH are for runtime not for compilation/linking time.

So you need to set correctly CFLAGS and LDFLAGS when you configure

Posted: **05 Oct 2008 05:36**

OK. So I set LDFLAGS like so:

Code: Select all

:~/apps/Source_Code/vlc-0.9.3$ echo $LDFLAGS
-L/lib64 -L/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib64 -L/usr/local/kde/lib -L/usr/local/agg/lib -L/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.2/lib

And it still looks in /usr/lib?? Like this:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libogg.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libogg.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[5]: *** [libtheora_plugin.la] Error 1

I also tried:

Code: Select all

:~/apps/Source_Code/vlc-0.9.3$ echo $LDFLAGS
-L/usr/local/lib

If it was just one or two libraries I'd just link /usr/lib/*la to /usr/local, but it seems like it's the whole bunch. Maybe I broke something installing other software?

I noticed I had an old version of libtool(1.5.x) so I updated to libtool 2.2.6. But when I libtool --config I get this:

Code: Select all

# Compile-time system search path for libraries
sys_lib_search_path_spec="/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux/4.3.2 /usr/local/lib64 /lib64 /usr/lib64"

Shouldn't I have /usr/local/lib or so in there? If so, where is libtools configure file?

Posted: **07 Oct 2008 06:43**

Ok, I got it. I had to edit a few la files as they were pointing to a location the library did not exist. Like so:

grep /usr/lib/libgpg-error.la /usr/lib/lib*.la

Then edited the la files to match where the library was.
