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!

 

Hope this helps,

William

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.
