Installing VLC on raspberry pi


Good Arvo all,

Just spent the morning compiling Alien BOB's vlc 2.2.1 on my RPi Slackware 14.1 and just a thought or two to help those along the way...
As always...YMMV

The only prob I had was with libdvbpsi-1.2.0 building due to a Boolean expression always being true. It was only a warning, but all warnings were being treated as errors.
It would compile fine on my laptop, but not on the RPi. Changed versions of libdvbpsi, same result(well, maybe not v1.3.0 as didn't try). New plan of attack - patch libdvbpsi configure file to take out -Werror. Then edit vlc.SlackBuild to implement the patch.

Takes a while but flawless...

Thanks to Mr. Hameleers & co. for creating an awesome pkg

How is the performance when playing videos with VLC?
Afaik it has no hardware acceleration support for the RPi.
That's why I started using omxplayer instead.
