Installing VLC Media Player under FreeBSD
Make sure you have upto date Ports collection or Just CVSup your Ports:
cd /usr/ports make update
Once you have your ports collection up to date, proceed with the install:
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/vlc make install clean
If you would prefer to simply install the already-compiled binary package, with a common set of default compile-time settings, use the following command:
pkg_add -r vlc
Spanish language support
VLC compiles and installs correctly from ports, but it has been reported that the Spanish interface doesn't work properly. There is a Spanish language file here from a previous installation that works correctly with the "20051102 Janus Snapshot".
To use the vlc.mo file provided from the link above, you need to download it and then (as root), move it to the following location:
"/usr/X11R6/share/locale/{Your Language abbreviation here}/LC_MESSAGES/vlc.mo"
So in the case of the spanish locale file, you would use the following command
mv /downloads/vlc.mo /usr/X11R6/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/vlc.mo
to overwrite the erroneous vlc.mo file.
