VLS

Danielt2x: Copy edit, added link

VLS (aka VideoLAN Server) is an outdated streaming solution. More information is available on http://www.videolan.org/vlc/streaming.html.

Unless you really know what you are doing, we advise that you use [[VLC]] instead as it is far more powerful than VLS.

==Known problems==

VLS isn't compatible with GCC 4. You will thus need to use GCC 2.9, 3.3 or 3.4 to compile, or submit a patch to fix compilation problems on GCC 4.

== Solutions ==

=== Mandrake Patch ===

Mandrake Linux supplies a patch for vls 0.5.6 that fixes compilation on gcc 3.4. The patch also works for gcc 4+ (Tested with 4.0.2 & 4.1.2).
The patch file (vls-0.5.6-gcc34.patch from vls-0.5.6-5mdk.src.rpm):

=== libdvbpsi ===

Use [http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/libdvbpsi/0.1.4 libdvbpsi3-0.1.4].
Later versions have incompatible API changes.

=== Dependency Errors ===

This error indicates that Makefile.dep and Makefile.module.dep need to have some spare newlines removed. See [http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30869 this forum thread] for details.
