Conversely if optional packages are not available at build time, vlc will generally continue to build with a reduced feature set. -Support for OpenCV is supported using either the "default" opencv -package or the opencv-legacy package (version 3.1.0) from SBo. Either -package will be detected and used if already installed. If opencv support -is not wanted despite the presence of opencv or opencv-legacy, it can be -explicitly disabled by setting the the OPENCV environment variable -to "no" e.g. - OPENCV=no sh vlc.SlackBuild - Support for Wayland is a special case. It is not supported by default but can be enabled setting the WAYLAND environment variable to "yes" when running the SlackBuild e.g. WAYLAND=yes sh vlc.SlackBuild -This support also requires additional SBo packages wayland-egl and -wayland-protocols. It also depends on the qt5 package having been -built with wayland support i.e. wayland package was installed when the -qt5 package was built. - -Please advise the maintainer to suggest support for any further options. +By default, the vlc runtime is not able to be run as root.
