vlc3.0.0 with QT5 and lua5.3?

Postby jiapei100 » 08 Jul 2016 15:51

Hi, all:

I tried to compile vlc3.0.0 with QT5 and lua5.3.
Actually, after some modification, I solved all my issues during the configuration, building, and installation. I mean, I have vlc-git successfully built and installed.
However, when I tried to run vlc, I got the following error messages. Can anybody help please?
.....$ vlc
VLC media player 3.0.0-git Vetinari (revision 2.2.0-git-8089-g0be62e5)
[0000000001b3a1a8] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0000000001d8f328] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the qt plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
[0000000001d8f328] skins2 interface error: cannot instantiate qt dialogs provider
[0000000001d8f328] [cli] lua interface error: Error loading script /usr/local/lib/vlc/lua/intf/cli.luac: lua/modules/common.lua:3: attempt to call a nil value (global 'module')


Cheers
Pei

Lua 5.3 is not backward compatible with existing VLC scripts. Please use Lua 5.1 or 5.2.

Thank you Remi....
But, do you have a plan to have VLC been compatible with lua5.3?

VLC is what contributors make it. It will be compatible with Lua5.3 if/when somebody makes it so.

I can't know what other people plan or don't plan.
