[SOLVED] Picks on Alien Bob Help with VLC 14.2

Wanted to do this in Pastures but a little bit cluttered. I like to have a working 14.2 VLC but not going to happen. Tell me how you got it to work in 14.2 on fresh install latest . PLZ help current works and so does frameworks.
Thank bro.

Excuse me for hijacking your thread. Any reason to prefer this vlc to the one from SBo?

vlc2: added v2.2.8 - this is the old 'vlc' package in my repository.
  It has been renamed to 'vlc2' and offers packages for Slackware 14.2
  and -current.  The 'vlc' package has been upgraded to 3.0.0 and now
  requires Qt5.  The 'vlc2' package is meant as an alternative for people
  who do not want Qt5 on their computer and still want or need VLC.

vlc: updated to the new major release 3.0.0.
...
  Now uses Qt5 for its GUI.  Incorporating static Qt libraries into
  the package is no longer supported by the SlackBuild.
  You need to install libxkbcommon, qt5, qt5-webkit packages separately.
...
  I will re-add the old vlc-2.2.8 packages for Slackware 14.2 and -current
  to my repository under a new package name 'vlc2' for those who do not
  want Qt5 on their system.

I think Petri gave all the information already, but I will try to re-iterate:
It looks like you are using vlc 3.0.0 on Slackware 14.2. That version of VLC requires Qt5. On Slackware 14.2 you need to install my qt5 package plus all the dependencies it requires: qt5-webkit, libxkbcommon, libinput and libwacom. Those are all available in my repository. Also note that there is no "libwacom" for 32bit Slackware 14.2 because qt5 does not use it on that specific release.

If you do not have all these packages installed then VLC will not be able to load its default GUI Qt5. It will fall back to one of its other user interfaces but the Skins2 GUI also requires Qt5... so it will fail to load.
The textual interface and the ncurses interface should still work.

Excuse me for hijacking your thread. Any reason to prefer this vlc to the one from SBo?

Doesn't buld sbo. no need for qt5 on my qt 4 system breaks to much stuff.

thank you Petri Kaukasoina
thank you Alien Bob

Installing Qt5 should not break anything in Slackware, because nothing in Slackware is using it.
