(1) requirements: CSWautomake >= 1.11.1 / pkg://openindiana.org/developer/build/automake-111

 '''Important Note''': Because of changes in VLC making xcb mandatory, video output modules relying on X11/XCB can't work until Solaris ships libxcb. Video output is currently done using SDL and will open on a separate window. Blastwave latest SDL builds uses xcb and are also unusable (referenced by sdl/aout). Configuring --disable-sdl makes builds possible, but you'll loose the sdl video output module too.

===== Up-to-date Binary Packages =====
(20150514)
A few repositories with binary packages exist (including QT).
If you want to build exactly those packages yourself or report packaging bugs,
then please check out the instructions on http://pkgbuild.wiki.sourceforge.net

If you want to directly install binary packages, then follow the instructions in the links below. The IPS repository setup instructions are listed there.

VLC 2.1.5 for OpenIndiana OI151a8 / OI151a9:

=== Building on OpenIndiana ===

===== Config & Build process required packages =====

Start by adding the [http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Spec+Files+Extra+Repository extra repositories]:
<pre>
(outdated!) pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe
(outdated!) pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered
</pre>

Required packages for build:
<pre>
pkg:/developer/build/automake-110
pkg:/developer/build/autoconf
pkg-config
pkg:/developer/gnome/gettext
pkg:/developer/build/libtool
</pre>

For modules:
<pre>
pkg:/library/video/ffmpeg@0.8.5-0.151.1
pkg:/library/desktop/g++/qt@4.7.3-0.151.1
</pre>

===== Setting up your environment =====

===== Configure =====

=== OpenSolaris (Deprecated) ===

Mostly follows Solaris instructions.

Note that despite the configure stage could be configured to call GNU's ld, the official gcc build always rely on collect2 and call the Sun linker.

If you get undefined retain-symbol-file errors, your path haven't been fixed for the configure step (must look into /usr/ccs/bin/ first) and the build process is applying gnu's options to sun's linker.

To use GNU's linker (optional): Either use the "LD_ALTEXEC=/opt/gnu/bin/gld" environment variable, or use a custom gcc build to use /opt/gnu/bin/gld. (vlc would fail on some gld only options like retain-symbols-file)

( your gcc -v output must not contain: --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld )

An alternative to LD_ALTEXEC would be to symlink /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /opt/gnu/bin/gld

===== Config & Build process required packages =====

</pre>
For GCC

Untested. See Solaris/Sparc.

 

===== Configure =====

Bootsrap has no problems since Osol uses bash.
<pre>./configure --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-glx --disable-lua --disable-mad --disable-swscale --disable-postproc --disable-a52 --disable-fribidi --with-gnu-ld=no --enable-qt4 --disable-xcb
</pre>

=== Solaris 10, x86 ===

To be done.

=== Solaris 10, SPARC ===

Sparc builds outside GCC, are currently unstable.

*Many bugs fixed (until now).
*all shells must point to /usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh (not fully posix) (tip: CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh)
*bootstrapping requires to change subprocess shell (see patch below)
*filesystem.c needs to be patched for NAME_MAX

Blocking:

*Lots of ''if (p==NULL) msgDbg("foo %s", p)'' in the code segfaults in multiple places. Developers have assumed that %s is fixed as "(null)" like Glibc does. Not available on sparc.
*crashes at network/httpd.c at poll() level.

===== Bootstrapping =====

Boostrap script needs to be able to run same subshells as parent. If bootstrap fails on genmf, then the subshell has fallen back to the default /bin/sh which isn't posix compliant. In that case, you need to patch as follow:
<pre>@@ -97,7 +97,7 @@ AC_DEFUN([PKG_CHECK_MODULES],[ifelse([\$4], , :, [\$4])])
EOF
fi

-modules/genmf `sed -ne 's,modules/$.*$/Makefile,\1,p' configure.ac`

</pre> <pre>ACLOCAL_ARGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal/"

export ACLOCAL_ARGS

/usr/xpg4/bin/sh bootstrap

</pre>
===== Configure =====
<pre>/usr/xpg4/bin/sh configure --with-a52=/opt/csw/ --with-mad=/opt/csw/ --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-skins2 --disable-glx
</pre>
--with-gnu-ld might also be required (check configure result!)

Sun Studio: Add --disable-qt4 if required. (Qt 4.6.0 Currently fails)

=== Qt4 Interface module ===

Trolltech only supports SunStudio builds. QT4 Interface is mainly C++, and creates ABI dependencies with Qt libs. Kde-solaris (bionicmutton) project packages offers the Sun ABI. If you wish to build the Qt4 Module, you need to build vlc with SunStudio, or build your own Qt library with GCC.

You should run into a without prototype 'wcsstr' issue in /opt/sunstudio12.1/prod/include/CC/Cstd/rw/traits Only fix known: Replace wcsstr with wcswcs in that file.

=== libxcb ===

Libxcb must currently be disabled or you'll need to use custome build as there's no official support. It might make it into the official repository as the package went past the fasttrack process.

=== Fully patched code repository ===

All patches are on this fork. (until they make it into the main repository)
<pre>git clone git://repo.or.cz/vlc/solaris.git vlcsolaris
</pre>
Patches on master branch are kept on top of this fork using rebase and forced pushes. Don't expect to pull later updates without rebasing.

EOF

<pre>/usr/xpg4/bin/sh configure --with-a52=/opt/csw/ --with-mad=/opt/csw/ --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-skins2 --disable-glx
</pre>
--with-gnu-ld might also be required (check configure result!)

Sun Studio: Add --disable-qt4 if required. (Qt 4.6.0 Currently fails)

=== Qt4 Interface module ===

Trolltech only supports SunStudio builds. QT4 Interface is mainly C++, and creates ABI dependencies with Qt libs. Kde-solaris (bionicmutton) project packages offers the Sun ABI. If you wish to build the Qt4 Module, you need to build vlc with SunStudio, or build your own Qt library with GCC.

You should run into a without prototype 'wcsstr' issue in /opt/sunstudio12.1/prod/include/CC/Cstd/rw/traits Only fix known: Replace wcsstr with wcswcs in that file.

=== libxcb ===

Libxcb must currently be disabled or you'll need to use custome build as there's no official support. It might make it into the official repository as the package went past the fasttrack process.

=== Fully patched code repository ===

All patches are on this fork. (until they make it into the main repository)
<pre>git clone git://repo.or.cz/vlc/solaris.git vlcsolaris
</pre>
Patches on master branch are kept on top of this fork using rebase and forced pushes. Don't expect to pull later updates without rebasing.

(1) requirements: CSWautomake >= 1.11.1 / pkg://openindiana.org/developer/build/automake-111

 '''Important Note''': Because of changes in VLC making xcb mandatory, video output modules relying on X11/XCB can't work until Solaris ships libxcb. Video output is currently done using SDL and will open on a separate window. Blastwave latest SDL builds uses xcb and are also unusable (referenced by sdl/aout). Configuring --disable-sdl makes builds possible, but you'll loose the sdl video output module too.

===== Up-to-date Binary Packages =====
(20150514)
A few repositories with binary packages exist (including QT).
If you want to build exactly those packages yourself or report packaging bugs,
then please check out the instructions on http://pkgbuild.wiki.sourceforge.net

If you want to directly install binary packages, then follow the instructions in the links below. The IPS repository setup instructions are listed there.

=== Building on OpenIndiana ===

===== Config & Build process required packages =====

Start by adding the [http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Spec+Files+Extra+Repository extra repositories]:
<pre>
(outdated!) pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe
(outdated!) pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered
</pre>

Required packages for build:
<pre>
pkg:/developer/build/automake-110
pkg:/developer/build/autoconf
pkg-config
pkg:/developer/gnome/gettext
pkg:/developer/build/libtool
</pre>

For modules:
<pre>
pkg:/library/video/ffmpeg@0.8.5-0.151.1
pkg:/library/desktop/g++/qt@4.7.3-0.151.1
</pre>

===== Setting up your environment =====

===== Configure =====

=== OpenSolaris (Deprecated) ===

Mostly follows Solaris instructions.

Note that despite the configure stage could be configured to call GNU's ld, the official gcc build always rely on collect2 and call the Sun linker.

If you get undefined retain-symbol-file errors, your path haven't been fixed for the configure step (must look into /usr/ccs/bin/ first) and the build process is applying gnu's options to sun's linker.

To use GNU's linker (optional): Either use the "LD_ALTEXEC=/opt/gnu/bin/gld" environment variable, or use a custom gcc build to use /opt/gnu/bin/gld. (vlc would fail on some gld only options like retain-symbols-file)

( your gcc -v output must not contain: --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld )

An alternative to LD_ALTEXEC would be to symlink /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /opt/gnu/bin/gld

===== Config & Build process required packages =====

Blastwave's additional packages

export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
export CCC=/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC CC=/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/cc MAKE=gmake
</pre>
For GCC

Untested. See Solaris/Sparc.

 

===== Configure =====

Bootsrap has no problems since Osol uses bash.
<pre>./configure --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-glx --disable-lua --disable-mad --disable-swscale --disable-postproc --disable-a52 --disable-fribidi --with-gnu-ld=no --enable-qt4 --disable-xcb
</pre>

=== Solaris 10, x86 ===

To be done.

=== Solaris 10, SPARC ===

Sparc builds outside GCC, are currently unstable.

*Many bugs fixed (until now).
*all shells must point to /usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh (not fully posix) (tip: CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh)
*bootstrapping requires to change subprocess shell (see patch below)
*filesystem.c needs to be patched for NAME_MAX

Blocking:

*Lots of ''if (p==NULL) msgDbg("foo %s", p)'' in the code segfaults in multiple places. Developers have assumed that %s is fixed as "(null)" like Glibc does. Not available on sparc.
*crashes at network/httpd.c at poll() level.

</pre>

=== Solaris 10, x86 ===

To be done.

=== Solaris 10, SPARC ===

Sparc builds outside GCC, are currently unstable.

*Many bugs fixed (until now).
*all shells must point to /usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh (not fully posix) (tip: CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh)
*bootstrapping requires to change subprocess shell (see patch below)
*filesystem.c needs to be patched for NAME_MAX

Blocking:

*Lots of ''if (p==NULL) msgDbg("foo %s", p)'' in the code segfaults in multiple places. Developers have assumed that %s is fixed as "(null)" like Glibc does. Not available on sparc.
*crashes at network/httpd.c at poll() level.

</pre>
--with-gnu-ld might also be required (check configure result!)

Sun Studio: Add --disable-qt4 if required. (Qt 4.6.0 Currently fails)

=== Qt4 Interface module ===

Trolltech only supports SunStudio builds. QT4 Interface is mainly C++, and creates ABI dependencies with Qt libs. Kde-solaris (bionicmutton) project packages offers the Sun ABI. If you wish to build the Qt4 Module, you need to build vlc with SunStudio, or build your own Qt library with GCC.

You should run into a without prototype 'wcsstr' issue in /opt/sunstudio12.1/prod/include/CC/Cstd/rw/traits Only fix known: Replace wcsstr with wcswcs in that file.

=== libxcb ===

Libxcb must currently be disabled or you'll need to use custome build as there's no official support. It might make it into the official repository as the package went past the fasttrack process.

=== Fully patched code repository ===

All patches are on this fork. (until they make it into the main repository)
<pre>git clone git://repo.or.cz/vlc/solaris.git vlcsolaris
</pre>
Patches on master branch are kept on top of this fork using rebase and forced pushes. Don't expect to pull later updates without rebasing.

(1) requirements: CSWautomake >= 1.11.1 / pkg://openindiana.org/developer/build/automake-111

 '''Important Note''': Because of changes in VLC making xcb mandatory, video output modules relying on X11/XCB can't work until Solaris ships libxcb. Video output is currently done using SDL and will open on a separate window. Blastwave latest SDL builds uses xcb and are also unusable (referenced by sdl/aout). Configuring --disable-sdl makes builds possible, but you'll loose the sdl video output module too.

===== Binary Packages =====
(20131230)
A few repositories with binary packages exist (including QT).
If you want to build exactly those packages yourself or report packaging bugs,
then please check out the instructions on http://pkgbuild.wiki.sourceforge.net

If you want to directly install binary packages, then follow the instructions in the links below. The IPS repository setup instructions are listed there.

=== Building on OpenIndiana ===

===== Config & Build process required packages =====

Start by adding the [http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Spec+Files+Extra+Repository extra repositories]:
<pre>
pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe
pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered
</pre>

Required packages for build:
<pre>
pkg:/developer/build/automake-110
pkg:/developer/build/autoconf
pkg-config
pkg:/developer/gnome/gettext
pkg:/developer/build/libtool
</pre>

For modules:
<pre>
pkg:/library/video/ffmpeg@0.8.5-0.151.1
pkg:/library/desktop/g++/qt@4.7.3-0.151.1
</pre>

===== Setting up your environment =====

===== Configure =====

=== OpenSolaris (Deprecated) ===

Mostly follows Solaris instructions.

Note that despite the configure stage could be configured to call GNU's ld, the official gcc build always rely on collect2 and call the Sun linker.

If you get undefined retain-symbol-file errors, your path haven't been fixed for the configure step (must look into /usr/ccs/bin/ first) and the build process is applying gnu's options to sun's linker.

To use GNU's linker (optional): Either use the "LD_ALTEXEC=/opt/gnu/bin/gld" environment variable, or use a custom gcc build to use /opt/gnu/bin/gld. (vlc would fail on some gld only options like retain-symbols-file)

( your gcc -v output must not contain: --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld )

An alternative to LD_ALTEXEC would be to symlink /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /opt/gnu/bin/gld

(1) requirements: CSWautomake >= 1.11.1 / pkg://openindiana.org/developer/build/automake-111

 '''Important Note''': Because of changes in VLC making xcb mandatory, video output modules relying on X11/XCB can't work until Solaris ships libxcb. Video output is currently done using SDL and will open on a separate window. Blastwave latest SDL builds uses xcb and are also unusable (referenced by sdl/aout). Configuring --disable-sdl makes builds possible, but you'll loose the sdl video output module too.

===== Binary Packages =====
(20131230)
A few repositories with binary packages exist (including QT).
If you want to build exactly those packages yourself or report pakaging bugs,
then please check out the instructions on http://pkgbuild.wiki.sourceforge.net

=== Building on OpenIndiana ===

===== Config & Build process required packages =====

Start by adding the [http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Spec+Files+Extra+Repository extra repositories]:
<pre>
pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe
pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered
</pre>

Required packages for build:
<pre>
pkg:/developer/build/automake-110
pkg:/developer/build/autoconf
pkg-config
pkg:/developer/gnome/gettext
pkg:/developer/build/libtool
</pre>

For modules:
<pre>
pkg:/library/video/ffmpeg@0.8.5-0.151.1
pkg:/library/desktop/g++/qt@4.7.3-0.151.1
</pre>

===== Setting up your environment =====

===== Configure =====

=== OpenSolaris (Deprecated) ===

Mostly follows Solaris instructions.

Note that despite the configure stage could be configured to call GNU's ld, the official gcc build always rely on collect2 and call the Sun linker.

If you get undefined retain-symbol-file errors, your path haven't been fixed for the configure step (must look into /usr/ccs/bin/ first) and the build process is applying gnu's options to sun's linker.

To use GNU's linker (optional): Either use the "LD_ALTEXEC=/opt/gnu/bin/gld" environment variable, or use a custom gcc build to use /opt/gnu/bin/gld. (vlc would fail on some gld only options like retain-symbols-file)

( your gcc -v output must not contain: --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld )

An alternative to LD_ALTEXEC would be to symlink /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /opt/gnu/bin/gld

===== Config & Build process required packages =====

</pre>
For GCC

Untested. See Solaris/Sparc.

 

===== Configure =====

Bootsrap has no problems since Osol uses bash.
<pre>./configure --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-glx --disable-lua --disable-mad --disable-swscale --disable-postproc --disable-a52 --disable-fribidi --with-gnu-ld=no --enable-qt4 --disable-xcb
</pre>

=== Solaris 10, x86 ===

To be done.

=== Solaris 10, SPARC ===

Sparc builds outside GCC, are currently unstable.

*Many bugs fixed (until now).
*all shells must point to /usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh (not fully posix) (tip: CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh)
*bootstrapping requires to change subprocess shell (see patch below)
*filesystem.c needs to be patched for NAME_MAX

Blocking:

*Lots of ''if (p==NULL) msgDbg("foo %s", p)'' in the code segfaults in multiple places. Developers have assumed that %s is fixed as "(null)" like Glibc does. Not available on sparc.
*crashes at network/httpd.c at poll() level.

===== Bootstrapping =====

Boostrap script needs to be able to run same subshells as parent. If bootstrap fails on genmf, then the subshell has fallen back to the default /bin/sh which isn't posix compliant. In that case, you need to patch as follow:
<pre>@@ -97,7 +97,7 @@ AC_DEFUN([PKG_CHECK_MODULES],[ifelse([\$4], , :, [\$4])])
EOF
fi

-modules/genmf `sed -ne 's,modules/$.*$/Makefile,\1,p' configure.ac`
+$SHELL modules/genmf `sed -ne 's,modules/$.*$/Makefile,\1,p' configure.ac`
</pre> <pre>ACLOCAL_ARGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal/"

export ACLOCAL_ARGS

/usr/xpg4/bin/sh bootstrap

</pre>
===== Configure =====
<pre>/usr/xpg4/bin/sh configure --with-a52=/opt/csw/ --with-mad=/opt/csw/ --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-skins2 --disable-glx
</pre>
--with-gnu-ld might also be required (check configure result!)

Sun Studio: Add --disable-qt4 if required. (Qt 4.6.0 Currently fails)

=== Qt4 Interface module ===

Trolltech only supports SunStudio builds. QT4 Interface is mainly C++, and creates ABI dependencies with Qt libs. Kde-solaris (bionicmutton) project packages offers the Sun ABI. If you wish to build the Qt4 Module, you need to build vlc with SunStudio, or build your own Qt library with GCC.

You should run into a without prototype 'wcsstr' issue in /opt/sunstudio12.1/prod/include/CC/Cstd/rw/traits Only fix known: Replace wcsstr with wcswcs in that file.

=== libxcb ===

Libxcb must currently be disabled or you'll need to use custome build as there's no official support. It might make it into the official repository as the package went past the fasttrack process.

=== Fully patched code repository ===

All patches are on this fork. (until they make it into the main repository)
<pre>git clone git://repo.or.cz/vlc/solaris.git vlcsolaris
</pre>
Patches on master branch are kept on top of this fork using rebase and forced pushes. Don't expect to pull later updates without rebasing.

To use GNU's linker (optional): Either use the "LD_ALTEXEC=/opt/gnu/bin/gld" environment variable, or use a custom gcc build to use /opt/gnu/bin/gld. (vlc would fail on some gld only options like retain-symbols-file)

( your gcc -v output must not contain: --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld )

An alternative to LD_ALTEXEC would be to symlink /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /opt/gnu/bin/gld

===== Configure =====

Bootsrap has no problems since Osol uses bash.
<pre>./configure --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-glx --disable-lua --disable-mad --disable-swscale --disable-postproc --disable-a52 --disable-fribidi --with-gnu-ld=no --enable-qt4 --disable-xcb
</pre>

=== Solaris 10, x86 ===

To be done.

=== Solaris 10, SPARC ===

Sparc builds outside GCC, are currently unstable.

*Many bugs fixed (until now).
*all shells must point to /usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh (not fully posix) (tip: CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh)
*bootstrapping requires to change subprocess shell (see patch below)
*filesystem.c needs to be patched for NAME_MAX

Blocking:

*Lots of ''if (p==NULL) msgDbg("foo %s", p)'' in the code segfaults in multiple places. Developers have assumed that %s is fixed as "(null)" like Glibc does. Not available on sparc.
*crashes at network/httpd.c at poll() level.

===== Bootstrapping =====

Boostrap script needs to be able to run same subshells as parent. If bootstrap fails on genmf, then the subshell has fallen back to the default /bin/sh which isn't posix compliant. In that case, you need to patch as follow:
<pre>@@ -97,7 +97,7 @@ AC_DEFUN([PKG_CHECK_MODULES],[ifelse([\$4], , :, [\$4])])
EOF
fi

-modules/genmf `sed -ne 's,modules/$.*$/Makefile,\1,p' configure.ac`
+$SHELL modules/genmf `sed -ne 's,modules/$.*$/Makefile,\1,p' configure.ac`
</pre> <pre>ACLOCAL_ARGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal/"

export ACLOCAL_ARGS

/usr/xpg4/bin/sh bootstrap

</pre>
===== Configure =====
<pre>/usr/xpg4/bin/sh configure --with-a52=/opt/csw/ --with-mad=/opt/csw/ --disable-libgcrypt --disable-remoteosd --disable-skins2 --disable-glx
</pre>
--with-gnu-ld might also be required (check configure result!)

Sun Studio: Add --disable-qt4 if required. (Qt 4.6.0 Currently fails)

=== Qt4 Interface module ===

Trolltech only supports SunStudio builds. QT4 Interface is mainly C++, and creates ABI dependencies with Qt libs. Kde-solaris (bionicmutton) project packages offers the Sun ABI. If you wish to build the Qt4 Module, you need to build vlc with SunStudio, or build your own Qt library with GCC.

You should run into a without prototype 'wcsstr' issue in /opt/sunstudio12.1/prod/include/CC/Cstd/rw/traits Only fix known: Replace wcsstr with wcswcs in that file.

=== libxcb ===

Libxcb must currently be disabled or you'll need to use custome build as there's no official support. It might make it into the official repository as the package went past the fasttrack process.

=== Fully patched code repository ===

All patches are on this fork. (until they make it into the main repository)
<pre>git clone git://repo.or.cz/vlc/solaris.git vlcsolaris
</pre>
Patches on master branch are kept on top of this fork using rebase and forced pushes. Don't expect to pull later updates without rebasing.
