I've updated the README file at the download link with some tips and pointers to get things running. I've also added a binary QT4 (GCC) package since it seems there is not one easily found, and compiling QT4 is a lengthy process. Using the QT4 and VLC packages from the download link and adding some packages from both the opensolaris.org default repository as well as the multimedia solaris.homeunix.com repository gives you a working VLC without having to compile anything!

I too think this needs documentation. On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 5:08 AM, Orvar Korvar <knatte_fnatte_tjatte at yahoo.com> wrote: 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.
