Anyone know where I could find this package for Centos 4.4 x86_64?
I've googled all over and haven't been able to find anything more
current the 0.8.4a.
I'm not much of a programmer, but if someone could point me at a
"packaging for dummies" perhaps I could have a go at creating a
package if one doesn't already exist?
If you want to build your own the checkinstall program is great. Just
compile the source like your normally would and run checkinstall
instead of make install, it builds an RPM for you.
If I even get that far. It seems to require a LOT of external libs for
various video/audio codecs that are proving to be a PITA to track down
and then get to play well together, especially if you've already got
other tools like ffmpeg installed. I guess now I know why the available
versions in various repos are so stale. :(
Yep. I spent the better part of a day downloading, compiling, and
installing the various components. It did eventually work though. This
was with 0.8.5. I got all of the components from the VLC download, since
I figured using the same versions that the VLC team did should save me
further headaches.
The whole reason I did this was because the 0.8.4 RPM version that will
install on Centos 4.4 does not work. It complains about 'wxwidgets'
missing. I found numerous posts from people with the same problem, but
no-one who managed to make it work.
