Is the latest source code at GIT bugged?? and is it normal that the updated GIT VLC code contains bugs??
need help asap.

System: UBUNTU 8.04
gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)

[coldfire]

has somebody checked this error in latest VLC-GIT repository, how to fix it?

[yohann.martineau]

could you provide the complete gcc command line?

did you run make and then make install. not just make install

actually, to compile vlc you should run:

./bootstrap

./configure (with appropriate options, see --help)

make

make install (as root)

i am not using any specific gcc command for compiling.
I have followed the same steps as
/bootstrap | ./configure | make

and on 'make' I am having this compile error !

PS. anyone tell me about how to check universe mirror in /etc/apt/sources.list. I have no idea about it. and if its not present there, how and what to put in there?

same error in Nightly Build as well.....

sorry but that's not what you told first:

got the code from
$ git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

and after bootstrapping and configuring, when I did
"$ make install"

the error trace comes as:

[...]

why don't you try to ask on ubuntu's forum? But I don't think you will find the latest git version built out of the box on universe repository. I'm not an ubuntu user.

Did you try those instructions:

http://nightlies.videolan.org/#debian

then you must run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install vlc-dbg

[sebjoub]

Same problem here. Have you had any luck compiling yet?

[yohann.martineau]

on debian etch, I configure vlc with the following options:

./configure --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2

It seems that you have a recent ubuntu, so maybe you can simply remove --disable-qt4

what is your hardware ?

I use a dell latitude d630 laptop.

yes its a new ubuntu version, i use Intel Core2Duo CPU @ 2.33GHz, 1.95GB Ram !

i will try with --disable-skins2 ..lets see what happens...On the side not, when I goto that particular demux.c file and comment out that line giving error (which is actually not so important from right now!) it compiles well.

[stealthdave]

I was able to get latest git to build by commenting out lines 247 and 248 in /modules/demux/avformat/demux.c. Everything seems to still work, but it may have broken features, I don't know for certain.

Code: Select all

default: es_format_Init( &fmt, UNKNOWN_ES, 0 ); if( cc->codec_type == CODEC_TYPE_DATA ) psz_type = "data"; /* this code no worky */ // else if( cc->codec_type == CODEC_TYPE_ATTACHMENT ) // psz_type = "attachment"; msg_Warn( p_demux, "unsupported track type in ffmpeg demux" ); break; }

[xtophe]

it has been fixed properly in git
