I am trying to build VLC player on Ubuntu 14.04.



It's been a tough road but I am learning along the way. However I am really stuck with this lib libavcodec that is required as prompted by this message.



configure: error: Requested 'libavcodec >= 57.16.0' but version of libavcodec is 54.35.0. Pass --disable-avcodec to ignore this error.


What I don't understand is why apt does not have libavcodec above 54. Is this a common issue where libs are updated, but not on apt? If so how do I got about getting the version I need?

          • Oh, I understand. It seems crazy to pass this disable parameter, as I think most of VLC won't work without it. How can I figure out what version of Ubuntu would work with libavcodec 57?

          • I'm not sure if this works for 14.04 too, but for 16.10: you have to add an additional repository deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu yakkety main universe to get this newer version. You will find details instructions here: installion.co.uk/ubuntu/yakkety/universe/l/libavcodec-extra57/…
