I have tried compiling vanilla vlc, both 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 version. 1. I didn't have all libraries, so I have disabled lua and other packages were excluded by configure script. No memory leak.
2. Then I installed lua compiler and lua lib. No memory leak. 3. Then I have installed all build dependencies, with sudo apt-get build-dep vlc. I couldn't build it due to missing backport in qt5: "You cannot build VLC with Qt-5.5.0. You need to backport I78ef29975181ee22429c9bd4b11d96d9e68b7a9c" Based on following link, this backport should be already in ubuntu/kubuntu, so I have commented out those three lines in configure.ac. This build did leak memory. 4. I have restored original configure.at and removed qt5-dev libraries in order to force compilation with qt4 libraries. This build did also leak memory. Check attached dpkg.log for installed libraries (some of this libraries triggers memory leak) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620110 Title: vlc leaks memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1620110/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
