Error compiling vls-0.5.6-r2 dvb-plugin

[grassu]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile vls-0.5.6-r2 on a gentoo amd64 box. It works well without the dvb-plugin but with dvb I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Generating dependancies for dvbinput.cpp...

My system is:

Code: Select all

Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r3 x86_64)

Any help appreciated,

Are you sure that you really need to use VLS?

VLC is much better maintained and compilable for all platforms. It features almost the same stuff as VLS now and is much easier to use.

Thanks for the tip, I will try it.

Is it possible to run vlc on commandline? I don't have any xserver.

Yes, sure. You can use simple command-line options or the rc-interface for real-time controlling through the command-line. The RC-interface can even be used through a telnet-connection over a network.
Additionally, a ncurses-interface exists, which is a GUI-like interface composed of ascii-letters. It does not need X as well.
