Hi! I am trying to compile vlc for arm/strongarm from source. I am using plain familiar linux (without user interface gpe or opie) so i would like to install a very basic vlc which supports network streaming and mpeg2. I have tried sources vlc-0.6.2 and vlc-0.7.1 and tried different configuration options.

Here's the configurion I used...

$ /Projects/vlc-0.7.1/configure --host=arm-linux --target=arm-linux --enable-debug --enable-test-suite --enable-dummy --disable-gtk --disable-gnome --disable-qt --disable-kde --disable-qte --disable-xosd --enable-fb --disable-sdl --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-dvd --disable-dvdread --disable-vcd --disable-dvbpsi --disable-freetype --disable-mad --disable-ffmpeg --srcdir=/Projects/vlc-0.7.1 --with-tuning=strongarm1100 LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/lib -L/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/usr/lib/ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/include/ -I/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/usr/include/


please note that I am using a different source directory than where I am compiling that's why I am using --srcdir option. I am using cross compiler 2.95.3

I diasabled all interface options and used dummy. I also disabled X11 and thought that the video be outputted directly to framebuffer, besides, there was an error when I tried to compile with X11 headers and libraries. I didn't include support for different formats, I only enabled libmpeg2

I was able to compile a binary but there was an error when I ran it on iPAQ H3800 with familiar Linux v0.7.
/home/mildred # ./vlc-debug -V 2 udp:

You need to start vlc with -I dummy otherwise it tries to load an interface. Thus:

/home/mildred # ./vlc-debug -V 2 -I dummy udp:

Many greetings,
