Dependencies not found while trying to package vlc 2.0.3

I will extend this thread rather than create new thread to reduce clutter.
New unmet dependencies are found. Please see post down the page.

---------------------

I was just trying to package VLC 2.0.3 using the .spec file from 2.0.1 in our testing section.
The only modification I did was to change version number from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3

Even with testing enabled, I could not install the kdelibs4-devel dependency for build.

How did the previously successful packager solve this?

is    'kdelibs4'  not now    'kdelibs'    since the kde upgrade and so would not be available?

Since the 4.8.3 update it has been kdelibs-devel (not kdelibs4)
Don't forget we are a rolling release distro.  Things change

I submitted a 2.0.3 in to Neal's dropbox a couple days ago. I don't know if it's in testing yet, but there are a few changes that should enable a couple of features that were missing. I'm not sure if they were important to anyone, but it will be interesting to find out.

I had a problem of my notebook screen dimming (power saving feature I guess) while playing video with the 1.x version presently in the repos. I have tried 2.0.1 from testing which too exhibits the same behaviour.

So I was looking to see if a self built 2.0.3 be any different.

Probably the .spec for 2.0.1 version was written before KDE upgrade.

Thanks.

Did you encounter this error?

Yes, you need something like this (I might have it backward in this example - have to look at the repos to verify):

Code: [Select]

%ifarch %{x86_64}
BuildRequires: libsamplerate-devel
%else
BuildRequires: libsamplerate0-devel
%endif

I put a lot of work to solve a lot of problems with this update. If you want to improve it, I recommend you look at what I did with 2.0.3. Unless Neal finds a problem with it, it should be in the 64bit test repo soon.

Oh. I will boot into the 64bit installation and check. thanks.

I'm trying to rebuild vlc on 32 bit and I get

  CCLD   libaccess_jack_plugin.la
/bin/grep: /usr/lib/libgconf-2.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libgconf-2.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libgconf-2.la' is not a valid libtool archive

I think this file should be in package gconf2-devel, but, well, its not. How to generate this file or where to get it from?

Nope, they are not packaged. The .la files are removed on %install

Thanks! Shame on me, as the answer was so easy
