Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

  1. Desired enhancement: restore building VLC3 from source, which was removed in [ddd6f4336c9cb206f76bc438e355a929425676b0/macports-ports]
  1. It seems that Qt can be disabled altogether for VLC, and then there is nothing to prevent it from building in principle even on Tiger. Even with no GUI it should be perfectly usable, as long as the output is sent to X window.

If the point 1 is too complicated to implement, maybe we can make vlc-cli port?

You can try, but you'll probably run into the reasons why I got fed up with building from source in a "MacPorts condoned fashion".
