Hi,

I compiled vlc 0.8.2-test2 on a solaris 8 machine, but when I run the compiled program it starts up the "Remote control interface". How do I get it to pop up the VLC client GUI.

I have compiled vlc with wxwindows version wxX11-2.6.1. When vlc compiles, it does go and compile files under the "module/gui/wxwindows" directory.

When I do a "vlc --list", however, I don't see "wx" or "wxwin". There is a libwxwindows_plugin.so created under the PREFIX/lib/vlc/gui directory (where PREFIX is the directory given in the configure command).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

do you have any errors concerning wx in VLC's configure ?

Here is part of the config.log file generated as part of running configure.
Let me know if you need more info from the config.log file.

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. Was there a resolution for this?
