Adventures with no picture in VLC and compiling FFMPEG

I say best thing to do is this:

1) Disable swscaler in both
2) recompile with -fPIC in the CFLAGS

I don't care about compiling VLC at this point. I would just like it to work. Does anybody have vlc working with KDE in Debian?

I installed my newly compiled VLC. It didn't originally start because it depended on a libvlc and vlccore which I didn't have.

To get those I added the VLC nightlies to my /etc/apt/source.list:

Code:

deb http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/sid-amd64/arch ./

Then I got the missing files:

Code:

aptitude install libvlc2 libvlccore1

and my self compiled VLC runs great. [except for the fact that typing vlc at the command line returns an error because the path is wrong so I have to type /usr/local/bin/vlc to start vlc but that will soon be fixed.]
