I have followed the wonderful guide at
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Building_Mesa_from_source
by our awesome member Shmerl!
However, when I run
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa-master/x86_64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/opt/mesa-master/x86_64 EGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/opt/mesa-master/x86_64 vlc
vlc has a segmentation fault. How can I figure out what's wrong? The compilation was successful (i.e. non-zero exit code), and when I export those environment variables in my .profile, most things seem to work. So why does e.g. vlc not work? This makes me think I did something wrong but I have no idea as to how to debug.
Note that I have confirmed (using the 'file' command) that the vlc binary is indeed 64-bit.
Kind regards,
Xu
