FWIW, what version of vlc are you trying to compile, and under which version of Mageia?

vlc 2.1.0-git or 2.0.2 in mageia 3(gcc-4.7.1).
compiled fine, but when i try to install, it didn't works.

# make install
vlc-cache-gen ...
main libvlc error: No plugins found! Check your VLC installation.

ATM, just installed it from mageia repository.

How did you compile it? I.e. which configure options were used?

glad ask to me.

Code: Select all


[ffmpeg configure]
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-x11grab --enable-nonfree --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --disable-symver

[vlc configure]
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --libdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-lua --disable-mad --disable-a52 --enable-pulse


[TIP] vlc on F17
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=280220

it worked fine on F17(x86_64), but something is different on mageia.

Is there any particular reason why you compile ffmpeg and vlc yourself? Maybe it's easier to use the source packages of the distro, and just update those and do a rebuild, that way you would avoid issues like you posted above ...
