I've found the way how to build application with Qt5 and libvlc on linux and don't get crash on start:

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/lib/vlc/vlc-cache-gen -f /usr/lib/vlc/plugins

It will rebuild plugins cache and Qt4 gui plugin will not load on libvlc init.

Thanks RSATom for your post. FYI I have already done with this command and tried it again now but still geting the same issue.
I am using Qt 5.4, Ubuntu 14.04. FYI, I have also posted the same issue here https://github.com/ntadej/vlc-qt/issues/69. It says that there is packaging bug of vlc-qt libs with QT 5.

Did you test your suggestion/idea with vlc-qt libs with Qt5 into Ubuntu 14.04 ? Is it working at your end ?

[RSATom]

it works at least on Linux Mint 17 (I'm on it right now) and at least with QmlVlcDemo

If you still end up with configure: error: "You cannot build VLC with Qt-5.5.0. You need to backport I78ef29975181ee22429c9bd4b11d96d9e68b7a9c"

Simple solution is uninstall the qt5 temporary, compile your Vlc and then reinstall them.

On my Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64 it was the:
qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev qtbase5-dev-tools libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev

!!!WARNING!!!
After you uninstall them dont reboot, just compile your Vlc and then reinstall them.

(In my Case they were needed for the Nvidia Driver.)

I Compiled the VLC 2.2.4 Sucessesfully and it runs great.
