On Gentoo this can be a struggle and there's a team for this. The issue may be more to do with having to maintain ffmpeg, VLC, mpv, and a lot of other libs to make sure everything stays in sync. The only upsides to building a custom VLC is that the libraries are shared and can be updated independently (whether this will work at runtime is always an issue) and that features can be enabled or disabled based on the user's needs. There are a lot of build options for VLC. Well, I would still accept this over not having MacPorts manage my VLC installation at all.Īs for what VLC stock has vs a custom build, there are a few things but I can't remember if I've been affected by them, especially on macOS.
A regular, binary install does what it does for any other port that provides the same convenience: it loads and installs a tarball containing the result of the build. How is port -s going to work if the official build gets pulled in?Īs with other ports that follow this approach, installing from source is what does the actual pulling-in of the official DMG. NB: it might be possible to replace a sufficient number of the embedded libraries with symlinks to the ones provided by MacPorts, but that would require re-signing the application. I'm willing to prepare such a contraption, but somebody else will have to step up to fix and maintain the build-from-actual-sources part. Zipping a file or folder makes it smaller and more convenient to transfer over the. What is not in the official build that you think could justify maintaining the existing card house? It could be done of course, even if the "DMG build" became the default install variant (that's how I developped this new Portfile in my local version). Zip files are files compressed to reduce the size of a file or folder, according to the File Info website. And I won't, now that I know this solution exists.
I don't see any reason to keep pulling my hair trying to maintain a port that builds only partly on my system and that keeps getting worse with each new release. It turns out that the official build works from (IIRC) 10.7 all the way to the latest OS version, AND the embedded library can actually be used. It does not store any personal data.Well, the thing is that the port has become way to complex to maintain I've seen remarks like "build failures across the board", and even "kill it or fix it".
