VLC on Freerunner / OM2008.8

2008-09-01 Thread Nishit Dave
Hi,

I think this has been asked before, but has anybody tried porting VLC [1] to
the FR / OM200x? The VLC website [2] says there is a Zaurus port available
for an older version with a different ARM processor, so it could be possible
to have one for armv4t.  The packages are .ipk.  By the way, what sort of
system requirements would it have?

VLC is available under Debian (I know you are talking about 2008.8 but
since you also mention armv4). I have not installed it, but saw it in
synaptic.

It's available in OpenEmbedded. I just tried building it with mokomakefile:
make build-package-vlc-gpe
The dependencies build, but vlc-gpe fails during configure when testing the 
compiler. This may be an easy thing to fix for someone who knows their way 
around OE and autoconf.
