How do I build VLC with an Interface ?

[ps2shylock]

KDE, WX or GTK either will do, but how do I build the player with one of these interfaces.

Thanks

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

just add --enable-wxwidgets in your ./configure line.

[ps2shylock]

Thanks,

Sadly I've already tried that and successfully built & compiled the code.

Currently when I load the player using

Code: Select all

./vlc --intf wxwidgets

all I get is

Code: Select all

[00000466] main interface error: no interface module matched "wxwidgets, none" [00000466] main interface error: no suitable interface module [00000001] main vlc error: interface "wxwidgets, none" initialization failed

before it loads the remote control interface

Thanks

What about trying
"vlc -I wx " ?

[ps2shylock]

Thanks,

It justs continues to load to RC, the only other interface I can load is ncurses.

I think I going to rebuild wxWidgets and see whats comes from that.

First:
rm -rf ~/.vlc

then check in your modules/gui directory that the libwxwidgets.so is present.

If it still does not work. Re-compile.

launch vlc with -vvv flag.

The libwxwidgets.so doesn't exist within folder, therefore hence the problem, but how do I get wxwidgets to write this file, when wxwidgets has been installed and working correctly or VLC.

I've already re-compiled wxwidgets & vlc and still no file and hence no GUI.

[funman]

install libwxwidgets-devel or whatever it is called (it's libwxgtk2.6-dev on ubuntu) and recompile without any arguments

the libwx_plugin.so is a vlc file, which containes the wx interface

[ps2shylock]

Thanks,

I've installed the development headers and recompiled the source code for vlc. But sadly this hasn't changed any thing and I still can't load a GUI

Any ideas would be appreciated

[ps2shylock]

Still the libwxwidgets.so doesn't exist

Hi,

I've made some changes to the configuration line used for VLC, giving the direct paths of the source file destinations for skins2 and wx, which has when calling the GUI using

Code: Select all

./vlc --intf skins2/wx --verbose 2 --extraintf logger

given the error of

Code: Select all

[00000384] main module warning: cannot find symbol 'vlc_entry__0_8_5' in file "/usr/local/lib/vlc/gui/libskins2_plugin.so" or "/modules/gui/libskins2_plugin.so"

Any suggestions as to reasoning or solutions, would be grateful. Thanks

1/ uninstall vlc
2/ remove the directory where you built vlc
3/ extract the vlc source tarball
4/ rebuild using the same ./configure line

when changing options of configure, you often need to create a fresh build dir

Hi,

I've rebuilt the entire VLC code from scratch, and this hasn't resolved the problem.

When I load ./vlc, I still get the message cannot find symbol "vlc_entry__0_8_5" in libskins2_plugin.so

Thanks
