VLC media player is a free and open source media player and multi-
|
|
|
|
|
media framework written by the VideoLAN project. VLC is a portable
|
|
|
|
|
multimedia player, encoder, and streamer supporting many audio and
|
|
|
|
|
video codecs and file formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various
|
|
|
|
|
streaming protocols. It is able to stream over networks and to
|
|
|
|
|
transcode multimedia files and save them into various formats.

This build aims to support as many options as possible using
|
|
|
|
|
the SlackBuilds listed in the REQUIRES field of the vlc.info file.
|
|
|
|
|
No script changes are necessary to include particular options; if they
|
2015-05-06 13:32:38 +02:00
|
|
|
are detected at build time, they will be included. Conversely if
|
2018-02-19 06:03:28 +01:00
|
|
|
optional packages are not available at build time, vlc will generally
|
|
|
|
|
continue to build with a reduced feature set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for OpenCV is temporarily disabled by default due to build error.
|
|
|
|
|
However it is possible to include opencv support using the somewhat
|
|
|
|
|
older opencv-legacy SlackBuild rather than opencv. It then needs to
|
|
|
|
|
be explicitly enabled by setting the the OPENCV environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
to "yes" e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
OPENCV=yes sh vlc.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
|
This requires the opencv-legacy package to be installed at build time.

|
Support for Wayland is a special case. It is not supported by default
|
|
|
|
|
but can be enabled setting the WAYLAND environment variable to "yes"
|
|
|
|
|
when running the SlackBuild e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
WAYLAND=yes sh vlc.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
|
This support also requires additional SBo packages wayland-egl and
|
|
|
|
|
wayland-protocols. It also depends on the qt5 package having been
|
|
|
|
|
built with wayland support i.e. wayland package was installed when the
|
|
|
|
|
qt5 package was built.

The vsxu SlackBuild is now optional for x86 machines; removed from
|
|
|
|
|
REQUIRES since it does not compile on arm machines at the moment.

|
|

|
|
|
Please advise the maintainer to suggest support for any further options.

*NOTES*
|
|
|
|
|
- the qt4 interface seems not to be working ATM so the qt5 one is
|
|
|
|
|
enabled by default: this means qt5 is a new mandatory dependency
|
|
|
|
|
- you *need* to version-bump the libva and libva-intel-driver in
|
|
|
|
|
Slackware to versions 1.7.3 for VAAPI support: as we suppose
|
|
|
|
|
a standard install, "--enable-libva=no" is added between the
|
|
|
|
|
configure options, instead
|
