@Kathy: simple, take the git version, not the 1.1.10 tag, the fix is straightforward.

MacBook install: triple boot: linux, windows, Mac OS - Yossia

i already had Mac OS X 10.6 and Win XP (Boot Camp) installed on my laptop, so i started from the Resize stage

Resize

* Go to Applications/Utils and launch Disk Tool

* Split and resize the main partition in order to have a new partition that you name Linux and format in HFS. (16GB here)

* Check everything.

before installing Ubuntu, i wounded to check the rebooting to the Mac and Win-XP OP, but unfortunately i couldn't boot the WIn XP anymore.

from the Mac i can see the BOOTCAMP partition and disk and all the files on it.

Do i missed a stage after the resizing that i need to do so the Win-XP can be rebooted ?

Thank You for your help and for making this procedure available
Best Wishes
Yossi

Is there an equivalent "make install" for this. I have tried but it seems to be broken.
Thanks.

Yeah ditto on the make install comment. My current (8.10 Ubuntu) vlc version stays at 0.94 while in the build/bin dir the new 1.00 vls exists. Make install does a lot of stuff but doesn't install the new version.

The big one is about LANGUAGE_CODE: that is the default locale used to display messages in. "utf-8" is not a locale. You will set LANGUAGE_CODE to something like "en" or "de", etc. Since Django doesn’t ship with "en-au" or "en-us" variants, leaving LANGUAGE_CODE alone will give you default English messages (as if it were set to "en"), which isn’t a terrible default.

Afterwards ‘sudo make install’ should finish fine and VLC will be startable from any directory by just typing ‘vlc’ into the terminal. It will not be necessary anymore to run ./vlc from the build directory, and actually, the bloated 400MB git-directory can be removed. VLC seems to run fine now and also appears to find everything it needs to run and work, as opposed to installing it without those extra options,

Hello J.B.

It seems you are one of the best involved VLC developers and I have to say, Vidolan especially VLC-Player is a great project.

I thought it is a good Idea to participare in the developement but I have to say I am a Newbie in working within so large software projects.

So what I have done first, was to to try to build VLC following exactly the howto’s on the Videolan site in three ways:

1. Win XP 32 with MinGW/Msys
2. Win XP 32 with Cygwin
3. Ubuntu Linux (9.04)

meanwhile after solving some issues in all I’ll get through bootstrap and configure in all three ways

-> For everyody who get also already stucked at bootstrap: take care of the line endings in Win (CR,LF) and Ix (LF). Some GNU autotools are very sensitive about that, so bootsprap only worked after some corrections I did with Notepad2 (google about) in a few makro files (error message: expecting line feed…).

With Msys I ‘ve got still a warning about AUTOOPTS. I don’t know if this is the right way, but I deleted all .m4 files before doing again the update steps regarding the GNU autotools and loading the VLC project as in the howto. Then I went through without warnings.

But - and there comes my QUESTION: - when I proceed to make, I get so many compiler warnings regarding deprecated definitions of variables, comparison between signed and unsigned and so on. Can ignore the warnings for a stable version ?

Till now I havn’t got a self compiled working VLC like it can be downloaded as install from the Videolan site. I wonder how it was made. Do you or anybody else know?

With MinGW and also Cygwin the make stucks with errors in the last steps (exact message follows) and with Linux I am still working on finding or upgrading all the needed Librarys which are warned about.

I’ll keep you informed or do you have any help to go faster ?

regards
Andreas_HB

After this, I get a curser and then a black screen. Nothing happens.
I would appreciate any help or advise. Thank you.
