Summary:                    vlc does not build on x86_64
Description: 
The vlc apparently needs ffmepg in order to build but that dependency is
not being included. It also needs some other things...

#> lin vlc
Checking dependencies for vlc 
Building vlc version 0.8.6a

[snip]

checking for ffmpeg-config... no
checking for FFMPEG... no
checking ffmpeg/avcodec.h usability... no

----

Initially the ffmpeg would not build. I was able to complete the build by
modifying the ffmepg module's BUILD. (issue reported)

I tried the vlc build again:

[snip]

checking postproc/postprocess.h presence... no
checking for postproc/postprocess.h... no
configure: error: Missing header file postproc/postprocess.h.

----

I guess that libpostproc is needed but it is not available as libpostproc
or postproc and it was not provided with the ffmpeg build as it apparently
should have been(  libpostproc is in the ffmpeg trunk ). 
SO maybe this is also a ffmpeg build problem. I.e., the 
/usr/src/vlc-0.8.6a/modules/codec/ffmpeg/postprocess.c is the only
location on Lunar for any ''postproc'' file(according to freshly updated
locate).

Try to install ffmpeg-svn (remember to remove ffmpeg-svn beforehand). Also,
be sure subversion is installed.

Hi Moe, thanks. I did lrm ffmpeg and lin ffmpeg-svn with defaults (except
for mpeg4 as yes) and saw postprocess.c.
It seems to have worked for that, then
checking QuickTime/QuickTime.h usability... no
checking QuickTime/QuickTime.h presence... no
checking for QuickTime/QuickTime.h... no
configure: error: cannot find QuickTime headers

That is, I am sure, from selecting QuickTime compatibility for vlc. 
I assumed since it was there and accepted license is currently "all" it
would build quicktime(.mov) compatibility into it.
I am going to try lin libquicktime.
Nope. The lin vlc still fails
Trying lin openquicktime ... nope, that's not it either.
Unless it is xmovie I suppose I am out of luck for QuickTime .mov files.
lin xmovie ...  
Oops. Another bug:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Something should also be added as a dependency if "QuickTime" is chosen
for vlc... but What??

The vlc configure script is braindead when it comes to QuickTime and not
just that one. You have to "lrm --prune libquicktime", then "lin -cr vlc",
say no to quicktime, dirac, libdvdread and libdv. Once done then you can
relin libquicktime.
