The VideoLAN Forums

I tried to install VLS on Linux( fedora 6 ). When I type "make", the system tell me following:

dep/core/application.dpp:1: *** missing separator. Stop.
make: *** [dep/core/application.dpp] Error 2

I do not know how to solve this problem. Do anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot.

Do not use VLS, use VLC instead. VLS is deprecated.

Can anybody help with this error, Please do not say to use VLC. I do have a reason using VLS. If you are wondering I will say that VLC will not work on my box. I do have a server box, this is not a desktop. I do no not want to install any graphical interface. I believe is a good reason to use VLS.

Now going back to the error, can anybody have a clue why this error?

Best regards

VLC can run without any graphical interface. VLS is really outdated and not at all supported. A lot of people use VLC as a server and that's the good way to go now. Give a try to VLC and you will see that's VLC is way better than VLS.
(You can compile VLC without any user interface: use --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2 ...)

I tried that but getting sane issues

configure: WARNING: libhal >= 0.5.0 was not found. Install libhal-dev ?
checking for DBUS... no
configure: error: Couldn't find DBus >= 1.0.0, install libdbus-dev ?

Tried to install libdbus-dev but try lo install graphical interface.

Any other way to compile. I follow instruction on the developer corner no good same issue..

configure: WARNING: libhal >= 0.5.0 was not found. Install libhal-dev ?

That's a warning, so you can ignore it if you don't want to install a recent version ov libhal

checking for DBUS... no
configure: error: Couldn't find DBus >= 1.0.0, install libdbus-dev ?

If you don't want dbus (and I guess that you don't need it), add --disable-dbus to the configure commandline.

ok thanks ivoire that was helpful to me
