As you can see i get...

E: Unable to find a source package for vlc
E: Unable to locate package libxvidcore4-dev
E: Unable to locate package liblame-dev

So the question is how do i get these packages? and why are they not there/working...?

Ive asked in the official GoalBit forum & LinuxMint forum and i still dont have a answer. So any help from the Linux guru's from raymond.cc would be great.

Thanks

You are aware that a source file could cause major problems... because it's not the one in the repos.

If I were you, I'd simply install the stable version of VLC in your repos (sudo apt-get install vlc) and try using that with GoalBit.

[boyzee]

Thanks for the advise, thing is i already had vlc, lame & xvid installed. So i went ahead with the rest of the instructions and now i get this...

Read somewhere while searching for the answer to this that one of the developers did not know how to package deb files but he can compile it from Debian to Windows easy enough...

Runs on Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux and Solaris.

Yer right

Try running

sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11

Of course omitting sudo if you've already elevated to root. It looks like it was just a missing dependency and the script didn't tell you how to fix this in plain English nor did it automatically try and install it via the repos.
Try and re run the script and see whether it works or not, if it doesn't I'll try and compile it on my PC and see whether it works or not.
Also to Hellnoire, Compiling from source puts hairs on your chest.

Do you really think I don't? But to meet all the requirements is something you'll have to make sure when compiling.

To me, it looks like he met all the resources.

I disagree because it complained right here,
configure.ac:5349: warning: macro `AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT' not found in library

that it couldn't find the path to it. Either it is set to the wrong place or he doesn't have it installed.

Which is usually the latter rather than the former.

Not what I'm pointing out Turkey... I'm pointing out the comment you made, not shooting down anything else.
