Impossible to compile vlc with current GConf package
Hi,
I recently tried to compile the latest vlc version (2.0.3) on my slackware64 current (14.0 RC4) and ran into a compilation error. Code:
/bin/grep: /usr/lib64/libgconf-2.la: No such file or directory Code:
make install DESTDIR=$PKG || exit 1 I thought it was worth mentioning this even if it's not a bug related to a standard package installed in slackware, vlc is still a very popular software for a lot of people. |
VLC probably builds just fine on the VLC developers' PC.
|
The other day I had a compile error because of the absence of a .la file (in this case for libsoup-2.4/queny-plugins) which was not occurring anymore after I removed webkitgtk that was on my system (see slackbuilds-users/2012-August/009117.html). Do you happen to have webkit installed as well?
Maybe of interest: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2011/05/sur...btool-archives. In response to that blog they mention some packages (like webkit, gstreamer, gst-plugins) that require .la files, but not GConf. It all relates to libtool (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/wiki/LibTool) as I just found out. Maybe someone else can explain this compilation problem better, but understanding that wiki correctly, .la files should not be in packages (except for some that use them internally) |
Seems odd, I build and run the development version of vlc and cannot see this problem when compiling on rc4. Have to dig a little deeper on my system perhaps...

Are you gaining features that you can't get in Eric's self contained VLC package or are you building it yourself for some other reason? I'm just curious if I'm missing out on something I hadn't thought about.

I do the same with KDE so I totally understand!

It's working fine with Gconf and Eric's latest package with the latest packages in current. I don't have many gnome-ish packages installed, just Gconf for google-chrome. I just did a clean install of -current this week.

Well I don't know what went wrong last time I tried but it worked like a charm this time!
