Requirements
You will need the following tools if you plan to use the SVN version of vlc:
- - autoconf version 2.50 or later
-
- - automake version 1.5 (but 1.6 or later is recommended)
-
- - gettext version 0.10.40 (but 0.11.3 or later is recommended)
-
- - perl version 5.005 or later
+ - Autoconf version 2.60 or later
+ - Automake version 1.9 or later
+ - gettext version 0.16.1 or later
+ - pkg-config
+ - libgcrypt 1.2 (or compatible)
After retrieving the SVN tree, you need to run the bootstrap script to
generate all the files needed to build vlc. You can then run configure.
After changing configure.ac you will always need to rerun bootstrap and
configure.
+VLC keeps a cache of its module (in ~/.vlc/cache on Linux), so you'll have to delete it. (or use vlc --reset-plugins-cache)
+Then use vlc -vvv --color --list to check that your plugin is seen by VLC.
