Howto: Build the development version of vlc under Ubuntu

[mc4man]

Good news is that the ffaudio change has been absorbed into the new 3.2.2 release, so looks like the long history of problematic wma lossless playback is well and truly finished .

All does seem well on the self-built front, Debian/Ubuntu package users will have to wait a bit.
Hopefully the next time D/U upgrades Audacious they won't take 6+ months to get their act together as far as the ffaudo plugin

Ot -
Went ahead & did a new aud build with the 3.2 release & as you mentioned alls well with a current FFmpeg & that source

If you came across some time -
For the current gtk there are quite alot of warnings that could be cleaned up - not critical, but still..

To do by hand would be time consuming, figure there is one of your nice commands that could search thru the affected files & fix.

Some of the more common ones that are widespread in both aud & the plugin source - if you had a command or two then could definitely put 2 & 2 together, ect.

Ex.

‘gtk_vbox_new’ is deprecated : Use 'gtk_box_new'

‘gtk_hbox_new’ is deprecated : Use 'gtk_box_new'

‘gtk_hseparator_new’ is deprecated : Use 'gtk_separator_new'

‘gtk_hscale_new’ is deprecated : Use 'gtk_scale_new'

I will admit that I have not tested this thoroughly but permutations of the following should do the trick, from the root directory of the source:

grep -rl 'gtk_vbox_new' src/ | xargs sed -i_bak 's/gtk_vbox_new/gtk_box_new/'

Of course once you have full confidence in the syntax you would drop the _bak and then no backup would be saved... Don't you love Linux!!!

The web page looks pretty good -
While I don't use the v4l in 12.04 it seems ok, at least the plugin built

Actually I like the background image trick that I filched from the Ubuntu Community Wiki so much I may very well use it for the rest of my site .

Next major look at the guide will be 12.04....

Version bump for libbluray and libaacs for keen owners of bluray drives . This version bump puts this guide ahead of repository offerings of both already!
