include vlc in qt application

[SGaist]

@Tikani, @abhay doesn't struggle with Qt, it's vlc that is giving him a hard time to bundle.

@abhay, are you only missing the vlc libraries or is there anything else that is not pulled in ?

[abhay]

@SGaist only vlc libraries.Qt is fine

[SGaist]

Did you increase the log level of linuxdeployqt ? That might give you hints of what is happening.

You may have to tweak the tool a bit to make it include the vlc libraries.

[abhay]

@SGaist Did you mean --verbose? I set the default value only.

[SGaist]

Put it at 4

[abhay]

@SGaist Same error man :(

[abhay]

@abhay and I think range is from 0-3 only I think.Although if you give more than 3 it will take same as 3 I think

[SGaist]

Setting the verbosity up won't fix the problem, however it should help you get information on what is happening. Maybe tell you why what dependency is ignored.

From a quick look at linuxdeployqt, it might be because vlc is installed in a system folder which will be avoided by the tool.

@SGaist can you tell me how to link vlc if I install it in a custom manner?I mean downloading the source code and building it.

[SGaist]

The same as now except that you'll have to add the path to your custom VLC build in the LIBS variable.
