I think they would be native-inputs for vlc, mplayer, and mpv, because those programs are written (mostly) in C and C++, and so we can provide the path to the store directory at compile-time. I added libvdpau as a native-input to each and they build, but I don't know how to test if the compilation is using libvdpau and using it correctly. But I do know that I could not play some video the other day with my Guix-provided vlc due to some error about VDPAU ;) Any thoughts? > > -- > Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר > GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 > Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
