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.
Exactly. It installs via YUM without a whimper and then segfaults if
you try to run the binary. I'll *try* to get 0.8.6 working, but I'm
more of a digital plumber than a programmer....so I'm not terribly
optimistic.
Cheers,
