Hi lokidor,

nice to hear that there are people working on better VLC for Maemo! I tried your version and here's some observations:

While installing vlc-nox, I got complaints about missing libogg0 although I certainly installed it from the Maemo Extras. Here's what dpkg said:

vlc-nox depends on libogg0 (>= 1:1.1.3); however: Version of libogg0 on system is 1.1.3-2

"dpkg -i --force-depends" helped me through this problem.

What I need is video streaming input+playback (yes cole, there's someone who needs VLC for this so I tried only vlc-nox. However, it said "fb video output error: cannot get terminal mode (Invalid argument)". So I guess vlc-nox really doesn't have any X? What I would propose instead is to have packages:

• vlc-cli: command line version which uses X for playback
• vlc-qt: QT
• vlc-wx: WxWidgets
• ...

So the first one would match the ANEMONE version and the rest would add some GUI stuff. The rationale for this is that Maemo has X anyway (unless you get rid of it somehow but on the other hand QT/wx/... have some requirements for space etc. so you might want to avoid installing them. What I would propose also is that the WxWidgets version wouldn'd depend on QT version, if possible.
