VLC?
by pchristy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C48V)
Long time slacker, but new to arm!
My family bought me a Pi 400 for Xmas (Yay!), so I've immediately installed slackware-current from SARPI. So far so good. Some of my favourite apps are missing, most noticeably VLC.
I've tried building AlienBob's package (which seems to be ARM friendly), but it complains about apache-ant being missing, which is NOT ARM friendly - as far as I can see, anyway!
The distro supplied with the 400 (Raspbian?) does have VLC, and I think Raspbian is based on Debian? In theory, if I can find the .deb package, I should be able to run deb2tgz on it and install it, provided the dependencies are met.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? Has anyone got VLC working under slackware-arm?
All suggestions gratefully received!
