If the applications are under the GPL, not hosting the sources along with the packages is also a violation of the license.
To my knowledge (but I haven't verified it), the GPL doesn't strictly require to "host" the sources. It requires to make them available to any requestor. But if they are NOT hosted, one must offer to provide them on media, just like CDs, at no cost to any requestor, except for postage and packaging.
And the offering must be announced, where the binaries are.
I am sure that arny sends out lots of CDs every day...
I rather hope that someone will find a way to compile VLC in 64bits using my (modified) SlackBuild and tell me what to change... so I can merge the changes into my script.
Otehr distros have their 64bit versions, but they rely on all the dependencies separately available as shared libraries. I still like to keep everything into one single package.
This is the chance for those advocates of the 64bit Slackware derivatives... to show they can contribute back ;-) I call their bluff.
Eric
I have successfully build vlc on Bluewhite64 12.2/KDE 4.2 Beta2 today.
The only problem was that the static libs from ffmpeg did not want at all to build with -fPIC. So, this options has been added to the compile process:
Also, after the installation to the $VLCDEPSDIR I had to strip the libswscale.a lib.
Code:
strip $VLCDEPSDIR/usr/lib/libswscale.a
Also, the schroedinger.pc is not installing and vlc does not build here.
A full slackbuild diff is here:

I have successfully build vlc on Bluewhite64 12.2/KDE 4.2 Beta2 today.
Well you took up the challenge quite successfully arny. I am definitely going to try your diffs when I have a 64bit OS at hand again.
Two things struck me. One is that you had to resort to leaving out the MMX optimizations in ffmpeg's assembler code, I had to do the same but wanted to know if this could be avoided:
Code:
+ --disable-mmx \
+ --disable-mmx2 \
I guess that this may be the only way to get it to link against VLC. Mind you, I successfully built ffmpeg itself on 64bit without the need to disable MMX support, so it must be the inability of VLC code to handle this.
The other was
Code:
strip $VLCDEPSDIR/usr/lib/libswscale.a
And this was something I had not expected to be needed.

I'm planning a BETA release this Monday (Dec. 29) of the LiveDVD, so, soon you will have the same environment that I have to build the VLC .

AFAIK MMX is not 64-bit ready/supported, maybe I'm wrong but someone can correct me . Another example can be the libpng which will refuse to compile (did not produce the same code like Slackware) if the MMX code is used. To build, I have to use the nommx Makefie:
Code:
# Link the custom makefile:
ln -sf scripts/makefile.nommx ./Makefile

Well, it was a surprise for me too, I always get the "relocation error, compile with -fPIC" message even if I forced everywhere the -fPIC

I just read this whole topic, but I can only find vague answers when there will be an official 64-bits Slackware release. There's a lot talk about BW64 and Slamd, but not so much about Slackware 64 bits.
Hardware developers are already busy with the development of 256 bits systems, and it won't surprise me that within maximum 10 years a 256 computer is quite normal.
I hope that it won't become true that in that time you will have several Linux distributions supporting 256 bits (probably not fully) and Slackware is still official 32 bits.
When I use a 64 bits OS on my 64 bits computer, it IS working faster than a 32 bits OS, and the difference is not just a little bit. For Slackware I can say it is indeed quite fast for a 32 bits OS, but -for example- Suse 11.1 (64 bits) is faster. So the few 32 bits libs and apps inside Suse which are not 'translated' to 64 bits, doesn't make the computer as slow as an 32 bits OS. (I am not the only one with this experience.)
There are already a lot of people migrated from Slackware to an other distribution because they want to have more 64 bits support.
I really like Slackware, and the way it is maintained and developed; clear and stable.
I hope for the future that Slackware doesn't end up in an OS that is only used by some 'geeks' because it is still using only 32 bits. When I see how fast Slackware is now, it won't surprise me that 64 bit Slackware will smash other 64 bits OS to pieces on speed!
So please let it come soon...

256bit special purpose registers or data paths perhaps, but when people refer to 32 or 64bit OSes, they're generally talking about Memory Addressing. I doubt we're going to see more than 64bit addressing for a very, very, very, very, long time. Certainly not within my lifetime.
Do you realise just how much memory a 64bit address space will support? Approximately 17.2 billion gigabytes (according to wikipedia - I can't be arsed to check the figure but it sounds big enough to be right).
I think Pat was asked about the possibility of a 64bit Slackware in the interview he did on the linuxreality podcast a while back. If I remember rightly he said that he'd look at taking slackware 64bit once the major applications were all 64bit and that he wasn't interested in doing a 32/64bit hybrid.
@GazL: All you say is correct. Still, I share the opinion of henkees.
I tried 32 Bits Slackware on my dual core 64 bits hell machine, which ran
OpenSuSE 10.3 before, but then decided to install OpenSUSE 11.1. The latter
is a lot faster on that hardware. (And, BTW, KDE4 is really stylish and
I immediately learned to like Dolphin).
And: All major applications I can think of are now available for 64 bit
architectures. OpenSUSE 11.1 runs quite well, and even the minor hitches
I observed with 10.3 are gone. My experience with 10.3 was already good
enough to recommend using 64-bit operating systems on 64-bit hardware.
It got even smoother.
But if Pat V. means "multilib" when he says "hybrid" we will, unfortunately
not see Slackware 64 any time soon, I am afraid. On the other hand: One of
the best features of Slackware is that it is designed to satisfy user needs
with the best technical solution possible, and not a puristic or religious
attitude. That's one reason why I prefer it over Debian, which is an excellent
distribution from a technical point of view, too. But the community tends to
get a bit fanatic, there, at times. Slackware users and developers are much
more down-to-earth.
So I am pretty sure that the growing interest in a 64-Bit version will not
be ignored for a long time, anymore. Users want it, applications and tools are
there and mature, for the largest part. I think I can already hear someone
counting down...

I won't be that sure; there already exist 256 bits processors. When you 'google' for 256 bits memory addressing, architecture and/or processors you will find out that the first steps are already made...
I agree that it will take a long time - more than 10 years certainly - before these systems are fully supported. But a lifetime long?
From what i can tell the only applications not available for 64bt ATM are stuff like Wine or Skype.
But Slackware doesnt include any of those anyway. Even Sun Java has 64bit version out & theres also icedtea.
From my point of view and for my needs, a pure 64bit system provides 100% functionality already.
edit: and at last, with 64bit, Slackware can ship a decent firefox package.

It's quite possible that he did say multilib. It's been a while since I heard that interview. Hybrid was just my choice of words to describe a multilib system. But yes, that was my interpretation of what he said. Ofcourse, he's at as much liberty to alter his thinking in response to evolving trends as the rest of us, so who knows what will happen.
I expected the error about "libfluidsynth_plugin.so" because that one did not work before, but the other two are new.
Anyway, it does not prevent video playback. But the first error disables H264 encoding and the second one inhibits software scaling of the video.
Because you do not have yasm installed, the SlackBuild script falls back to an older but more compatible version of x264, and the one I built was using a 20081201 snapshot (with a lot of assembler optimizations). And apparently this recent snapshot is not good for use on a x86_64 architecture.
Still, satisfying to have a VLC package available for the 64bit architecture now. It is the player I like most.
Just out of curiousity - does anyone have any information on the growth in available 64-bit capable systems out there?
My thinking is that since most modern Intel and AMD processors now are 64bit capable, it shouldn't take more than a year or two before 64bit outnumbers 32bit on production systems, but where is the hard evidence to back this up?
Any thoughts or good suggestions for google search terms?
