The debian-provided vlc source does not even include directory with the python bindings "bindings/python/", whereas README file does reference the directory.
The vlc source code from the upstream site also does include the directory (!): download. videolan. org/pub/ videolan/ vlc/0.9. 9a/vlc- 0.9.9a. tar.bz2
http://
I have done current GIT checkout of the the VLC and copied the bindings directory to the vlc-0.9.9a directory. Then I did
cd python/bindings && python setup.py build && python setup.py install
It compiled and installed the /usr/local/ lib/python2. 6/dist- packages/ vlc.so without errors.
But when I tried to run a sample python program that uses vlc library, I have got following error: lib/python2. 6/dist- packages/ vlc.so: undefined symbol: libvlc_ media_player_ has_vout
ImportError: /usr/local/
Which is expectable, as the function libvlc_ media_player_ has_vout exists in GIT version only.
