The VideoLAN Forums

I am having loads of problems building VLC in Ubuntu 20.04. I am having the same problems that I find discussed here.

I was wondering if anyone has created a build machine as a Docker container or some other VM.
Getting all the correct pieces together in one place that could then be passed on to other developers would
be a great advantage to us beginning VLC developers.

I am very new to this, but have had some success building VLC for Windows by following this excellent guide: https://medium.com/@tobias.strg/compili ... 90c6a73c24.
I used the vlc-debian-win64 image from registry.videolan.org on an Ubuntu VM. The image needed some tweaking, but got me 90% of the way there.

There are many docker images listed here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/docker-images; hopefully, one of these will get you started.

Good Luck.
