I'm trying to compile vlc-2.1.4 using AlienBob's slackbuild. It fails I think because the compilation of taglib fails as follows.

Run Build Command:/usr/bin/gmake "cmTryCompileExec328819468/fast"

Does anyone have a similar problem or any idea what is wrong?


Mike

Just use his binary. This is a complicated build. You achieve nothing by trying to build it yourself. The man goes to great effort to offer us his binaries. For that I'm extremely grateful.

I am running 14.1, AlienBob's slackbuild worked ok for me. There are a lot of logs left in the /tmp folder, should be one for taglib. This might give a clue.

Thanks chaps. Eventually gave in and used the binary. I've built it a number of times in the past with not too many problems but this time...........hmmmm!

The logs didn't help me other than to show the error in taglig compile but would probably have been more help to a techo.
