Puppy 3.01 Install

#41 Post by Juggz »

I just installed it in my grown up Puppy 3.01, he just grew from 3.00 as of yesterday. :)

It's working so far, as I am using it now! :D

Same ol' VLC that I have been satisfied with for years playing stuff on PC's, Mac's, & now Linux!
In the words of the most wise Scrappy Doo, "PUPPY POWER!!!" :D

There is a slackware package of 0.8.6c available here
http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slackwa ... lc/0.8.6c/

which works fine with puppy.

libhal and libdbus are needed from here
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libhal1
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libs/libdbus-1-3

and libraries for codecs and the wxwidgets libs not already in puppy..ie those in the dotput in this thread.

This package includes pvr and tv card support, goom and skins2 support plus about a dozen skins and other output modules..ie the complete vlc.

Package size could be reduced but removing unwanted plugins/libraries/skins.....the wxwidgets support is the main reason for the size of vlc and is still needed for menues/preferences even if skins2 is used.

The package installation does not conflict with the dotpup package so can be evaluated alongside it.

edit... the wxwidgets libraries are compiled into this package so the external ones are not needed :)
