[Buildroot] VLC media player + some libraries

[Buildroot] VLC media player + some libraries

[Roeland Van Praet]

Hi,

I work as an embedded developer and we needed to port the VLC media
player to buildroot in one of our recent projects.
Since this project began some months ago, the buildroot version used is
that of 20081020.
I noticed that VLC is already ported in the current version, though
under the multimedia subfolder, but apparantly it's only a framework.
It has no extra options and from the work I've done I noticed that this
build would fail.

Therefor, I archived my VLC files (with patches), together with 3
additional libraries I ported: ffmpeg, libdc1394 and libmpeg2.
These are no patches for the buildroot sourcetree since the VLC files
moved from package/ to package/multimedia/.

If there is additional information required, please contact me on this
e-mail.

With kind regards,


Roeland Van Praet

Please provide patches against current svn.

Please use the infrastructure from package/Makefile.autotools.in.
There are numerous examples on how these new packages look like (
package/multimedia/vlc/vlc.mk for one).

TIA and kind regards,
