Instructions for Debian #28

Closed JoseteLuisete closed 6 years ago

JoseteLuisete commented 6 years ago

I think the instructions for the Debian versions aren't complete. Just install 3 packages and then make and then install? Maybe it's just my problem because I'm a newbie with Linux.

The instructions are complete. I'm running Debian and those instructions is how I install the plugin. This plugin is not packaged in Debian (I have asked vlc package maintainer to package it but they said they have their hands full, which is understandable), so you have to build it from source, which is what the instructions walk you through.

Since you are a newbie I probably should clarify that you are expected to run

make
sudo make install

commands while being inside the directory containing the files from this repository, so

sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libvlccore-dev
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/nurupo/vlc-pause-click-plugin.git
cd vlc-pause-click-plugin
git checkout 0.4.0
make
sudo make install

is one way of doing so.

Now I see. Those 7 lines clarify everything to me. I was just used to double click an exe. Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.

JoseteLuisete commented 6 years ago

As soon as I try this I'll close the issue.

nurupo commented 6 years ago

So, how is it going?

JoseteLuisete commented 6 years ago

It works perfect! Thanks a lot!
