Compiling and installing VLC on CentOS

Software: VLC (videolan), download from official website

Version: 2.1.15

Host: Centos6.5

Preparation software: FFmpeg, Version: 2.2.14, download from ffmpeg.org

If the other preparation software is missing, add the corresponding Devel library by adding the Rpmforge library.

Yasm using Yum install-y yasm

Steps:

1 Compiling FFmpeg

./configure--enable-pic

1.1 Need to modify makefile before make

Add one of the words to-fpic

The content after joining is:

$$ (objs-$ (1)): CFLAGS + + $ (cflags-$ (1))-fpic

The purpose of the join is to report the connection Libavformat.a error at the time of VLC compile, and request to join the-FPIC option

1.2

Make
Su
Make install

2 Compiling VLC

./bootstrap

./configure--with-pic

Make

Su

Make install

Reference:

1 Handling of Libavformat link errors

Temporary workaround fix for compiling libav-0.8.1:
./configure--enable-pic && make
Su
Make install
<then proceed to./configure && make vlc>
