Trying to compile vlc1.2.0-git with vaapi for Kubuntu 10.10 (viewtopic.php?f=14&t=88739), ./bootstrap is O.K., but ./configure misses lua5.1, that is indeed installed.

Code: Select all

checking whether gcc -std=gnu99 accepts -mtune=pentium2... yes
checking for LUA... no
configure: WARNING: lua5.1 not found, trying lua >= 5.1 instead
checking for LUA... no

configure: error: Could not find lua. Lua is needed for some interfaces (rc, telnet, http) as well as many other custom scripts. Use --disable-lua to ignore this error.

For maverick's lua5.1.deb following files are installed:

Code: Select all

/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/lua5.1
/usr/bin/luac5.1
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/lua5.1

/usr/share/doc/lua5.1/changelog.Debian.gz

/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/lua5.1.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/luac5.1.1.gz

Somethingelse has to be installed or there's just a missing symlink to compile with "lua" ?

install liblua-dev

I hate my rotten Kubuntu: Tried to install from maverick-respository one of these libluas-dev(liblua-svn-dev), which installs some other ones . . .
But this doesn't seem to be the trick(infact ./configure can't aswell find "libavcodec" from git-ffmpeg, I compiled before sucessfully).

Being too dull to compile vlc, I got Squeezuntu now:

1_libavutil49_0.5.2-6_i386.deb
2_libebml0_0.7.7-3.1_i386.deb
3_libmatroska0_0.8.1-1.1_i386.deb
4_vlc-data_1.1.3-1squeeze3_all.deb
5_libvlccore4_1.1.3-1squeeze3_i386.deb
6_libvlc5_1.1.3-1squeeze3_i386.deb
7_vlc-nox_1.1.3-1squeeze3_i386.deb
8_vlc_1.1.3-1squeeze3_i386.deb

But what a shock, vlc is working fine, but switch for GPU-acceleration is greyed out . . .
Is there a link somewhere on the videolan-website to just DOWNLOAD linux-vlc viewtopic.php?f=14&t=88739 (for Squeeze?) for my working vaapi ?
