Problem to build VLC with wxWindows interface under RedHat

[dufour.emmanuel]

When I tried to built VLC 0.7.0 under RedHat 9.0 with exactly the same configure script than for the binary distribution, the resulting VLC is NOT the same as binary version: wxWindows interface is not available.

Any idea ?

Details:
-I got the configure command line from the messages displayed at VLC start.
-wxWindows is not in the list generated by vlc --list command
-I uses all the RPM libraries required by VLC as distributed
with the binary version

more precisely, the traces show 2 warnings:

main vlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwindows_plugin.so' (libwx_gtk_html-2.5.so.1: Ne peut ouvrir le fichier d'objet partagé: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type)

main vlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libqt_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libqt_plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN11QMainWindow5eventEP6QEvent)

You need to install the wxWindows library for your OS ( version 2.5 ).
(as stated by the "unable to load shared object file" message)

You can notice that you neither have the QT Interface

OK, THANKS !

I have compiled wxWindows and installed it and it works:
wxWindows is available.

I thought the wxGTK binary library provided with the binary version of vlc was containing all wxWindows required. It's not the case. Furthermore, I have uninstalled the wxGTK library which seems now unusefull and wxWindows is still available. What is the wxGTK library for ?... Would it be a good idea to remove it from the libraries package if it is not usefull ?
