Build VLC media player under Ubuntu Hardy (8.04)

28 March 2008

This post is an update of the popular howto for Build VLC with feisty.

Introduction

So we are going to build the latest VLC possible.

Everything will be done in a console/terminal and should be straight-forward. Every question should be asked on the forum, or in the comments here.

Conventions

Every line beginning with a # should be done as root, or using the sudo command. Every line beginning witha % is a normal line.

Building VLC

Prepare your environment

We need a few package starting from a fresh hardy:


# apt-get install vlc
# apt-get build-dep vlc 
# apt-get install cvs build-essential subversion git git-core automake1.9 libtool
# apt-get install libgcrypt-dev
# apt-get install libfaad-dev libtwolame-dev libqt4-dev libjack-dev 
# apt-get install libxpm-dev libcddb2-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libzvbi-dev libshout-dev

Checkout VLC trunk and bootstrap the tree


% git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

% cd vlc
% ./bootstrap

Build x264

x264

x264 is a library to encode movies in H.264.


% cd extras/
%
% git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
% cd x264
% make
% sudo make install
% cd ../..

Configure VLC

Configure

 
% mkdir build; cd build;
%../configure --prefix=/usr \

Hi, folks
if you have no >=QT 4.5.1 installed, then goto https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+arch… , and follow instructions, how to download it. Also, there is numerous other downloads for vlc build.

i follow these steps, and get new QT version, ubuntu 9.04
On 1 May 1010, 10:14 by venkat

Hi folks,
I am not a ubuntu geek. I followed the whole tutorial on my ubuntu machine. Every step finished successfully except for the “make” in the last step. It said there is no make file and it stopped.

Any help…

I have the same problem(
On 10 May 10100, 6:25 by Mdr

I am also getting the same kind of error on ..Configure step. Any solution?????
On 7 May 7070, 12:49 by howcome

I get to the configure stage in vlc/build. There I get this error:

checking for buggy GNU/libc versions… found
configure: error: Buggy GNU/libc (version 2.5 - 2.7) present. VLC would crash; there is no viable work-around for this. Check with your distribution vendor on how to update the glibc run-time.

Help appreciated.

Hi
I’ve got problem with using git over a proxy server in ubuntu which blocks me to compile vlc. Any help would be appreciated.

jan, i get the same error with libmux_ts_plugin_la-ts.lo
how did you solve it?
On 3 May 3030, 11:59 by helpdeskdan

I also had to install libdvbpsi5-0.1.6.tar.gz to make it work correctly.

Hello,

I just discovered that these instructions won’t work for Ubuntu 8.10 (“Couldn’t find package build-dep”). Have I neglected to enable a repository?

Or may I request instructions on compiling VLC under 8.10?

Many thanks!

Hi,
I am following the above steps to compile vlc.

But i am getting this error:
checking for x264.h in /home/ying/src/vlc-0.9.4/extras/x264… yes
checking for X264… no
configure: error: the specified tree hasn’t been compiled

but I did compile extra/x264 and there is a x264 executable under etc/x264.

Please let me know how can i fix my problem.
On 15 May 15150, 1:02 by dreamnid

For those having problems with yasm not being detected, when running the configure w/ the x264: refer to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread….

Essentially, the yasm package in the repo is too old, so you have to compile your own.
On 14 May 14140, 4:37 by worthless

Hi,

Thank you for a good howto. I had some exciting problems to work around I thought I’d share.

Ocram: yasm didn’t work for me either, so I removed it and installed nasm instead – worked fine.

apt-get build-dep vlc did not work for me because of a dependency bug on libsound2-dev vs. libsound2 (and it gives the extremely descriptive error message: “Build-dependencies for vlc could not be satisfied.”). If you get this problem “apt-cache showsrc vlc” will show you the actual dependencies, and trying them showed that libsound2-dev required a specific (slightly older) version of libsound2, so i downgraded to that one with apt-get install libsound2=.

The version of liveMedia in Ubuntu was too old, had to get a new one from www.live555.com/liveMedia , compile it in extras and supply configure with –with-live555-tree=../extras/live

The version of speex in Ubuntu was too old, had to get a new one from www.speex.org , compile it in extras and supply configure with –with-speex-tree=../extras/live
On 23 May 23230, 2:13 by Hackeron

I’m getting:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libx264.a(cabac-a.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against x264\_cabac\_range\_lps' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/local/lib/libx264.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [libx264\_plugin.la] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory /root/fusecctv-dist/dist/multimedia/vlc/build/modules/codec’

I tried recompiling x264 with -fPIC – didn’t help :(

Hi
vlc was working for me in ubuntu 7. Since I updated to 8 it plays the MOV files but with no sound. I followed your instructions and everything worked fine, but still no sound… Any idea ? thanks !

Try to reconfigure and make clean.

This shouldn’t happen in GIt HEAD.
On 24 May 24240, 6:19 by aef110

After much trial and error I had to copy the ffmpeg folder from my 7.10 install to 8.04. Then I was able to compile vlc.

However, ‘make’ returns the following output:

Yes, you can. Use all the caching options.

So, Can I change the size buffer of the MPEG 4 transmission in the source code? Or, is possible change in the configuration of the program without recompile?
On 17 May 17170, 6:41 by dionysos23

Thanks for the HowTo. The tree for ffmpeg did not work for me either, I had to do it like ECN above….

I am interesting in how to reproduce that bug. Please share it!
On 7 May 7070, 9:34 by sasch

Hi Jean-Baptiste,
i have compiled it. But when i start the playlist vlc abortet. Over the terminal this comes:

Aborted

On 30 May 30300, 12:08 by ECN

In order to compile it without errors I had to take out the tree- specifiction for instance:

–with-ffmpeg-tree=../extras/ffmpeg

../configure –prefix=/usr –enable-snapshot –enable-debug –enable-dbus-control –enable-musicbrainz –enable-shared-libvlc –enable-mozilla –enable-lirc –enable-x264 –with-x264-tree=../extras/x264 –enable-shout –enable-taglib –enable-v4l –enable-dvb –enable-realrtsp –disable-xvmc –enable-svg –enable-dvdread –enable-dc1394 –enable-dv –enable-theora –enable-faad –enable-twolame –enable-real –enable-flac –enable-tremor –enable-skins2 –enable-qt4 –enable-ncurses –enable-aa –enable-caca –enable-esd –disable-portaudio –enable-jack –enable-xosd –enable-galaktos –enable-goom –enable-ggi –disable-cddax –disable-vcdx –disable-quicktime –enable-lua

And then it went ok, is it normal?

this did not work for me followed the steps all the way to the end.when I ran the make command said no make file stop any ideas what went wrong
On 18 May 18180, 9:02 by will

p.s. would you consider posting this on the ubuntu forums? I looked for a long time and was never successful at getting a working install before this. It certainly does not work over the network when you just use the synaptic to install
On 18 May 18180, 8:57 by will

I can’t thank you enough for this post. Before following these instructions every time i went to play anything over my network including dvr.ms f iles it was choppy to the point of being unwatchable. The only thing that did not work for me was the final % make command. but everything seems to working despite that.
On 16 May 16160, 12:53 by JBK

Yes, x264 and VLC moved to Git.

The HowTo should be good.
