=== Usage ===
 +
There are some very important dependencies:
 +
'''gettext (NLS)''' for international support (required),
 +
'''libdvbpsi''' for MPEG-TS files and streams support, libmad for MP3 audio decoding,
 +
'''libmpeg2''' for MPEG1 and MPEG2 video support,
 +
'''FFmpeg''' or '''libav''' (libavcodec, libavformat, libpostproc, libswscale and optionally libavio) for MPEG4 and most other audio and video codecs, and many file formats,
 +
'''liba52''' for Dolby (AC3) sound,
 +
'''dvdread''' and '''dvdnav''' for DVD playback,
 +
'''live555''' for RTSP stream playback,
 +
etc.
 +
 +
For audio output, you will need probably '''alsa-lib''' (on [[Linux]]) and/or '''libpulse''' (for [[PulseAudio]]).
 +
For video output, you will normally need '''XCB/XVideo''' and/or '''OpenGL/GLX'''.
 +
And '''Qt4''' is required to get the GUI support.

This page lists the libraries needed to have a fully featured VLC media player.
The additional information in the table refers to the VLC contrib build system (located in extras/contrib in VLC 1.1; in contrib in VLC 2.0+). These versions are against the trunk version.

For information on how to compile VLC media player (including the contribs) on your platform see the Build VLC media player box on the Developer Corner's page.

Usage

There are some very important dependencies: gettext (NLS) for international support (required), libdvbpsi for MPEG-TS files and streams support, libmad for MP3 audio decoding, libmpeg2 for MPEG1 and MPEG2 video support, FFmpeg or libav (libavcodec, libavformat, libpostproc, libswscale and optionally libavio) for MPEG4 and most other audio and video codecs, and many file formats, liba52 for Dolby (AC3) sound, dvdread and dvdnav for DVD playback, live555 for RTSP stream playback, etc.

For audio output, you will need probably alsa-lib (on Linux) and/or libpulse (for PulseAudio). For video output, you will normally need XCB/XVideo and/or OpenGL/GLX. And Qt4 is required to get the GUI support.
