Ubuntu 14.04 LTS compilation -> seg fault

[timautin]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile VLC from its source on a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, with no success (I already did it with no problem on 12.04 LTS).

The only things I installed since the installation of Ubuntu are :
- Ubuntu's updates
- the openjdk-7
- Netbeans
- gstreamer-0.10
- compizconfig-settings-manager
- BlackMagic's DesktopVideo and MediaExpress

So my system should be perfectly clean.

Here are the steps I'm using to compile VLC :

1°) Dowloaded http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/sou ... 045.tar.xz
2°) Uncompressed it and renamed the folder "vlc-2.2.0"
3°) cd vlc-2.2.0 && mkdir build && cd build
4°) sudo apt-get build-dep vlc (everything is OK, nothing to update)
5°) ../configure
6°) make

After a while I get the following message :

Code: Select all

/bin/bash : ligne 4 : 14774 Erreur de segmentation (core dumped) ./vlc-cache-gen ../modules make[2]: *** [../modules/plugins.dat] Erreur 139 make[2]: quittant le répertoire « /home/ifremer/Bureau/vlc-2.2.0/build/bin » make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Erreur 1 make[1]: quittant le répertoire « /home/ifremer/Bureau/vlc-2.2.0/build » make: *** [all] Erreur 2

Any help would be appreciated !

With stack trace, nobody can really help you. I can only guess it's a known glib bug.

Thanks for your fast answer !
I finally reinstalled almost everything (exept the openjdk) and was able to compile VLC. So, problem solved, but I don't know why.
