unable to install VLC on Slackel openbox

[juliusse]

Hi.
I wanted to install vlc on my wife's laptop (she use it for work)
The laptop runs on Slackel 7.3 openbox 64 bits.
But, I can't install it with slapt-get.
The command

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i vlc

Runs an error. VLC is excluded for unsatisfied dependency.
The missing dependency seems to be libcroco, according to the terminal.
Any solution?
Thanks

libcroco has been removed from slackware current.
till vlc-3.0.11 will compiled run

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i vlc --no-dep

to install
it will run fine.

I prefer smplayer. It is very good.

Edit: for vlc-3.0.11

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get -i vlc

Hi, thanks for the answer.
I too prefer smplayer for media, and also use kaffeine with Slackel KDE (mostly for digital television). But my wife has the habit of using VLC to make screen captures and also webcam captures for her job.
I will try this, thanks again

I saw in the changelog that VLC has been upgraded to 3.0.11
Finally the "until" was a "tomorrow" ;-p
VLC reinstalled!
Thanks
