Can't get it to work on Ubuntu 18.04 #50

HI everyone,

For some reason I can't get this to work on Ubuntu 18.04 :(. I tried to follow the normal install guide for debian Linux install:

sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libvlccore-dev libvlc-dev But when I tried to do the: make sudo make install

It gave me this: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

So I looked at others having this issue; and I found the following for an older version of VLC:

'Sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo reboot sudo apt-get install vlc git git clone https://github.com/nurupo/vlc-pause-click-plugin.git cd vlc-pause-click-plugin/vlc-2.2.x+ sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libvlccore-dev make sudo make install`

I got to: cd vlc-pause-click-plugin/vlc-2.2.x+ before running into an issue - as there is no directory like this now.

Could someone please help me finish this install so I can get click to pause on VLC 3.0.3?

Thanks, ~Mike

You are supposed to run make in the root directory of this repository.

Here are the dumbed down instructions:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libvlccore-dev libvlc-dev git vlc
git clone https://github.com/nurupo/vlc-pause-click-plugin
cd vlc-pause-click-plugin
git checkout 1.0.0
make
sudo make install

You can delete the "vlc-pause-click-plugin" directory after that.
