I only have an SVR4 traditional package, which can also be installed on
OpenSolaris.  If Murray hangs around here, I wouldn't mind helping him get
VLC compiled and put into his repository, however.  It is, after all, on his
wishlist :)  In any event, the next VLC (1.0.2?) should be significantly
easier to compile since it will have changes from the tickets I opened with
VLC's project (most have already been fixed in trunk).

 

Unfortunately I don't have the time anymore to figure out how to do all this
myself as I am rapidly approaching the end of my free time this summer and
will be back in college full time in the fall.

If you are packaging for OpenSolaris I think it would be a good idea to work
with Murray on http://solaris.homeunix.com/ , he already has a great IPS
repository that hosts MPlayer, libdvdcss, GsStreamer plugins and so on. VLC
would be a nice addition!

Well then, it seems there's quite a bit of interest.perhaps it's time for me
to fire up my OpenSolaris VM and see if I can get my own package to easily
work on it :)

 

I'll update the thread and blog post if I get somewhere meaningful, which
hopefully I do.

It's good to see that someone has gone to the effort of egtting VLC packaged
for osol...i too can't seem to get it to work even with all dependencies. I
too think this needs documentation.

Ok, so I download all those codecs and VLC will automatically use them. I
guess I have to make VLC point to them codecs, via settings or so. However,
Ive read on your link that I need ncurses, QT4, etc etc.

If someone has managed to get this VLC package working, maybe you can
summarize all the steps you took? e.g.

1. install ncurses, from opencsw
2. install QT4, from ....
3. Install codecs from link above
4. install VLC
5. config VLC
6. done.

Or something.
