using libvlc and trunk version

[contremaitre]

Hello,

I downloaded and compiled latest trunk version of vlc.
Then I am trying to run this simple code :

Code: Select all

char *myargv[] = { "/home/vlc_test", "-vvv" }; libvlc_exception_t excp; libvlc_exception_init(&excp); libvlc_instance_t *inst = libvlc_new (2, myargv, &excp);

I have two problems :

If I compile with :
gcc -g -o test test.c -L/home/vlc-0.9.0-git/src/.libs/ -lvlc

I have a segmentation fault at libvlc_new, the backtrace is :

#0 0xb7e60ccc in ?? () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#1 0xb7e61ab1 in ?? () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#2 0xb7e61c61 in getopt_long () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#3 0xb7d72934 in ?? () from /home/vlc-0.9.0-git/src/.libs/libvlccore.so.0
[...]
#14 0xb7ef53c4 in re_syntax_options () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#15 0xb7ef53c4 in re_syntax_options () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#16 0xb7ef53c4 in re_syntax_options () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
[...]
#22 0x00000000 in ?? ()

If I remove myargv from libvlc_new it works, so maybe a bug there ? (this works fine with 0.8.6e version of libvlc from ubuntu rep)

Second problem :
I want to compile with static link and :
gcc -g -o test test.c -L/home/vlc-0.9.0-git/src/.libs/ -lvlc -lpthread -static

Thank you

You need to link libvlccore too if you want to statically link libvlc.
