I'm trying to make demo-player work from vlc github, I load the pro file, specify the supposed directory of the vlc-qt lib (I've tried a lot a directories btw) but still no way to get things done. I've tried on both Ubuntuand Mac Os... Here's my pro file:
TARGET = demo-player
TEMPLATE = app
QT += core gui
SOURCES += main.cpp\
DemoPlayer.cpp
HEADERS += DemoPlayer.h
FORMS += DemoPlayer.ui
# Edit below for custom library location
LIBS += -L/home/VBB/Documents/vlc-2.0.7/lib/ -lvlc-qt -lvlc-qt-widgets
INCLUDEPATH += /home/VBB/Documents/vlc-2.0.7/include/ \
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/src/core/
and the compilation message
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvlc-qt /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvlc-qt-widgets
by the way on Ubuntu I've tried
sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev
but it ain't change nothing.
edit : If this can help
VBB@VBB-VirtualBox:~$ sudo find / -name "libvlc-qt*"
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/pkgconfig/libvlc-qt.pc.in
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-get-orig-source
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-core0.dirs
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-core0.install
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-dev.dirs
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-widgets0.dirs
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-widgets0.install
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-dev.install
What you need to specify after -L is the location of the following two .so files:
ubuntu@ubuntu-VirtualBox:~/vlc-test/vlc-qt/build$ find -iname \*.so
./src/widgets/libvlc-qt-widgets.so
./src/core/libvlc-qt.so
Normally you compile those libraries, by following this section in README.md:
Compilation
-----------
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=prefix
$ make
