   I have a problem with VLC. I would like to make this program work. But once installed here is the error that appears in the Terminal (Very strange, because on the distribution, which I had tried before Slitaz, i.e. Q4OS VLC started without problems):
   I attach a .txt file because the text is too much and I don't want the forum to block me again by detecting my spam conversations.

   Hi NarakuITA,

   I retry to build vlc, found why vlc broken.
   3.0.10 required Qt5 to have gui, but we try to build with qt4.

   Build in progress on my local env with Qt5, and check it.
   If work as expected, update receipt to build it on cook and push on mirror.

   I check wok history and found what happen.

   vlc 3.0.8 build work with qt4.
   vlc has been bump to 3.0.10, build with qt4 seem work until 13th March 2022, build failed with libcaca.

   I have same error, i remove it; because libcaca is unmaintained and have security issue.
   Build with qt4 work, but if understand logs both 3.0.8 / 3.0.10 required qt5 for gui

   Hi,

   I try to compile vlc also on current (32bits), no found issue.
   I try to compile vlc on local cooking env, same issue.

   found issue when build qt5, gdk-pixbuf complain miss libjpeg.so.9
   related to libjpeg-turbo have PROVIDE="libjpeg", i adjust qt5 receipt to ensure with have libjpeg to avoid race condition.

   I do same build order than current 32bits, need more investigate why we have issue.
   vlc receipt use gcc83, qt5 also.

   On current we have gcc 8.3.0 as default gcc, don't see significant diff on vlc/qt5 receipt.

   After search could be related to old glibc.

   Check to build vlc with export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS"

    Don't worry, I'll wait for you to solve the problem. Unfortunately I can't help you since I just arrived here, and I use linux. :)

    I can't install them, because it says I already have them installed.
    I tried on

    su -c "tazpkg -i libvlc-3.0.10.tazpkg" --forced

    but it doesn't work. I'm definitely doing something wrong, what was the correct command to force the installation?

    arf infact in your case already installed.

    should be :

    su -c "tazpkg -i libvlc-3.0.10.tazpkg --forced"
    su -c "tazpkg -i vlc-3.0.10.tazpkg --forced"

    " as to delimit command to be run, in you case --forced don't have effet because --forced not in command.

    Ok, I figured out what I was doing wrong. Installed everything. But it doesn't work. Now the error has changed: Segmentation fault.

    vlc[2033]: segfault at b27e8bae ip b1d6cb24 sp bfbca96c error 7 in libQt5Core.so.5.14.2[b1c9d000+365000]
    vlc[2058]: segfault at b27b0bae ip b1d34b24 sp bfdd48dc error 7 in libQt5Core.so.5.14.2[b1c65000+365000] has changed: Segmentation fault.

    hmm that strange,

    When i check, do test on qemu with rolling.

    I do test on my dell x300 with rolling, to have same condition that you.
    i'm install vlc / libvlc, and install new packages of vlc/libvlc.

    It's work.
    Maybe you can try to reinstall libQt5Core.
    su -c "tazpkg -gi libQt5Core --forced
