Skins2 Error

[Mateus Krepsky Ludwich]

Sorry if similar questions already have been asked, but I didn't found
satisfactory answers.

I compile the vlc rev 12964, previously running the configure with the
options:

Code: Select all

export SWAN_VLC=/home/mateus/proj # * Configure ./configure \ --enable-x11 \ --enable-xvideo \ --disable-gtk \ --disable-sdl \ --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-tree=$SWAN_VLC/trunk/lib/ffmpeg-20041113 \ --enable-mad \ --enable-libdvbpsi \ --enable-a52 \ --enable-dts \ --enable-libmpeg2 \ --enable-dvdnav \ --enable-vorbis \ --enable-ogg \ --enable-theora \ --disable-mkv \ --enable-freetype \ --enable-fribidi \ --enable-speex \ --enable-flac \ --enable-livedotcom \ --enable-caca \ --enable-skins \ --enable-skins2 \ --disable-alsa \ --disable-kde \ --disable-qt \ --enable-wxwidgets \ --enable-ncurses \ --enable-release \ --enable-nls \ --disable-cddax \ --disable-vcdx \ --enable-goom \ --enable-intfcmdcsl \ --enable-debug

The ffmpeg I compile with:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-pp --enable-gpl make

without installing it.

Before, I compile the wxWidgets (wxGTK-2.6.2), with:

Code: Select all

../configure --with-gtk=2 --enable-unicode make

My System is a Debian Sarge, linux 2.4.27-2-386

Everything ok with the compilations and with the installation of wxWidgets
and VLC. But when I try run the vlc this error occur:

VLC media player 0.8.4-test1 Janus

Segmentation fault

I try put /usr/local/share/vlc/skins2/ in my PATH, I try create .vlc and
copy the skins2 inside of it, and I try others things, but nothing solve the error.
So I recompile and reinstall the vlc with --disable-skins2. The error is gone,
together with the GUI...
Somebody can help me?

on my Mandriva 2006.1, I solved this problem by adding

Code: Select all

--with-wx-config=wx-config-unicode

in the configure

I did that and got:

checking for wx-config-unicode... no
configure: error: The skins2 module depends on the wxWidgets development package. Without it you won't be able to open any dialog box from the interface, which makes the skins2 interface rather useless. Install the wxWidgets development package or alternatively you can also configure with: --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2.

How do I create that wx-config-unicode?

First of all, you should install wxWidget again using the following procedures :

1.) in the directory containing wxWidget, type
a) ./configure
b) make ; make install ;
c) ldconfig <---don't forget this step

2.) install vlc again

I have faced similar problem as you, done with step 1c, I have no problem in skin2.

Hope it can help

[vulture@localhost ~]$ ldconfig
bash: ldconfig: command not found

What do I do to make that command work?
Oh, something else...how do I uninstall VLC so i can install it again?

[alec_robertson]

Code: Select all

sudo ldconfig

[vulture]

[root@localhost vulture]# sudo ldconfig
sudo: ldconfig: command not found

[alec_robertson]

Try: "locate ldconfig" then look through the list of hits (probably /sbin/ldconfig or something)

[vulture]

Ok, /sbin/ldconfig seems to work fine, thanks a lot. How do I uninstall vlc so I can install again?

[alec_robertson]

Code: Select all

cd /your/vlc/source/directory sudo make uninstall make clean distclean ./bootstrap ./configure --all_your_vlc_options make sudo make install

Ok, I've installed wxwidgets again with the steps described above, then tried to configure VLC with --with-wx-config=wx-config-unicode and again, got the same message. :s

checking for wx-config-unicode... no
configure: error: The skins2 module depends on the wxWidgets development package.

Install the wxWidgets development package or alternatively you can also configure with: --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2.

So I installed with ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --enable-wxwidgets, everything went fine but when executing vlc go this:

VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus

[alec_robertson]

I'm guessing it hasn't found wx-widgets. Make sure you have the dev package installed (on debian unstable it is libwxgtk2.6-dev) and check your configure script to make sure it is found correctly.

Hello!

I have the same problem with vlc 0.8.4a and 0.8.5 on gentoo.
I've compiled wxGTK-2.6.2 with unicode support.

I found the wxWidgets plugin here:
/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwidgets_plugin.so

When I try run the vlc this error occur:

Code: Select all

VLC media player 0.8.4a Janus [00000272] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any" [00000269] skins2 interface error: No suitable dialogs provider found (hint: com pile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly) [00000269] skins2 interface: skin: VLC OSX Interface author: BigBen

vlc is runnig now with the gui. But some buttons arent working.
For example the "Preferences"-Button isn't working.
So I can't change anything.

I don't now how to fix that.
Someone any idea?
