Have you built VLC in some directory like: ~/vlc/build
 
−
 
−
i.e you have compiled VLC using ./configure --prefix=SOME_PATH, For example:
 
−
  ./configure --prefix=/home/user/vlc/build

1. Then, you need to link libVLC and add the include path to VLMC.
 
−
 
−
To do that, first open vlmc.pro file and add/edit LIB PATH as:
 
−
  LIBS = -L/path_to_vlc_build/lib \
 
−
        -lvlc
 
−
 
−
For example:
 
−
  LIBS = -L/home/user/vlc/build/lib
 
−
        -lvlc
 
−
 
−
2. Then, you need to edit INCLUDEPATH in vlmc.pro:
 
−
  path_to_vlc_src_include
 
−
 
−
For example:
 
−
  INCLUDEPATH += src/LibVLCpp \
 
−
    src/gui \
 
−
    src/tools \
 
−
    src \
 
−
    /home/user/vlc/build/include
 
−
 
−
3. Now you need to add the path of libVLC to ld.so.conf so that linker knows the path of libVLC
 
−
  sudo vim /etc/ld.so.conf
 
−
 
−
Now, add path to libVLC in it:
 
−
  /home/user/vlc/build/lib
 
−
 
−
Now, update linker cache:
 
−
  sudo ldconfig
 
−
 
−
If every thing's goes fine compile VLMC as describe in the "Compile" section of this page. This method is not advised as it may cause unnecessary problems.

Building VLMC from source

This wiki page has information on building VideoLAN Movie Creator, VLMC from source. VLMC (VideoLAN Movie Creator) is a free video editing software, offering features to realize semi-professional quality movies, but with the aim to stays simple and user-friendly.

Resources

VLMC requires Qt(4.5+), C++ compiler and libVLC.

To install Qt, refer: http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads

To install libVLC, you are required to compile VLC

To get the current source of VLC player, refer: http://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource

For information on using Git, refer: http://wiki.videolan.org/Git

For Information on generic compilation of VLC, refer: http://wiki.videolan.org/Compile_VLC

In case you are interested in mailing list, goto: 

 http://vlmc.org/mailman/listinfo

We have two VLMC mailing lists: 

 * vlmc-announce: Official announcements (release, events, ...)
 * vlmc-devel: Developers discussions

Getting the source

You can fetch the current working tree using Git: 

 git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

Compiling VLMC

Following is the cleanest way of compiling VLMC (commands for *nix OS)

1. Download source code of VLC and VLMC as described in http://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource 

 git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlmc.git

2. Compile and install libVLC, libVLC is required by VLMC, for example: 

 cd path_to_vlc_src
 ./configure
 make
 sudo make install

3. Compile VLMC: 

 cd path_to_vlmc_src
 cmake .
 make

Now, to run VLMC: 

 ./vlmc

Now, start hacking ;-)
