It also depends on the qt5 package having been built with wayland support i.e. wayland package was installed when the qt5 package was built. - + +By default, the vlc runtime is not able to be run as root. This +security feature may be side stepped by building vlc with the RUNASROOT +environment variable set e.g. + RUNASROOT=yes sh vlc.SlackBuild + +Some versions of the automatically deteced optional libaom package are +incompatible with this version of vlc (the build will fail with an +incompatible libaom). Such an incompatible libaom may be ignored +during building by setting the LIBAOM environmant variable to "no" +e.g. + LIBAOM=no sh vlc.SlackBuild Please advise the maintainer to suggest support for any further options. + *NOTES* - the qt4 interface seems not to be working ATM so the qt5 one is enabled by default: this means qt5 is a new mandatory dependency |
