urgent help required i m frsutrated tried everything
 

hello experts!

i have downloaded vlc tar.bz2 package unzipped it using the tar xvjf command then i changed into the unzipped directory and ran ./configure command or file. every thing was fine no error stated in the last line everything seems to be fine. now i have read at many places that i need to type "make" press enter and then "make install" to install the vlc player but this is what happens when i type make and press enter "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." error message is displayed. please help i really need to install the vlc player.

What distro are you using?

i m using Open SUSE 10 if u mean distribution by distro?

I think you'll find the confugire process wasn't successful

WHat distro are you using?

Then why don't you use the OpenSuSe package?

Or you can add the packman repository.

for the sake of learning how do i find what is the problem and how do i fix it, off course i will come for help to you after dignosing te problem.

thanks for the url billymayday!

Read the output of the configure script. Odds are you're going to find some errors listed in there. How you fix it depends on the errors.
