I have problems with compiling the x264.

Try to reconfigure and make clean.

This shouldn't happen in GIt HEAD.

After much trial and error I had to copy the ffmpeg folder from my 7.10 install to 8.04. Then I was able to compile vlc.

However, 'make' returns the following output:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvlccore
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
libtool: install: error: relink `libvlc.la' with the above command before installing it
make[4]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/albert/vlc/build/src'
make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/albert/vlc/build/src'

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/albert/vlc/build/src'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/albert/vlc/build'

I'm stuck now and would be grateful for help. Many thanks in advance!

So, Can I change the size buffer of the MPEG 4 transmission in the source code? Or, is possible change in the configuration of the program without recompile?

Thanks for the HowTo. The tree for ffmpeg did not work for me either, I had to do it like ECN above....

In order to compile it without errors I had to take out the tree- specifiction for instance:

--with-ffmpeg-tree=../extras/ffmpeg

../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-snapshot --enable-debug --enable-dbus-control --enable-musicbrainz --enable-shared-libvlc --enable-mozilla --enable-lirc --enable-x264 --with-x264-tree=../extras/x264 --enable-shout --enable-taglib --enable-v4l --enable-dvb --enable-realrtsp --disable-xvmc --enable-svg --enable-dvdread --enable-dc1394 --enable-dv --enable-theora --enable-faad --enable-twolame --enable-real --enable-flac --enable-tremor --enable-skins2 --enable-qt4 --enable-ncurses --enable-aa --enable-caca --enable-esd --disable-portaudio --enable-jack --enable-xosd --enable-galaktos --enable-goom --enable-ggi --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --disable-quicktime --enable-lua

And then it went ok, is it normal?

p.s. would you consider posting this on the ubuntu forums? I looked for a long time and was never successful at getting a working install before this. It certainly does not work over the network when you just use the synaptic to install

I can't thank you enough for this post. Before following these instructions every time i went to play anything over my network including dvr.ms f iles it was choppy to the point of being unwatchable. The only thing that did not work for me was the final % make command. but everything seems to working despite that.

Yes, x264 and VLC moved to Git.

The HowTo should be good.

x264 is moved to git seems

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
