[vlc-devel] [RFC][PATCH 0/2] Update contrib's Mac OS X configurations.

[Faustino E. Osuna]

Unlike the previous two patch sets, this one is not so trivial.

I'm looking for feedback as to whether this would be a good approach to move
forward or not. To begin with, I've tested these patches 10.7 Xcode 4.2 (4D199)
and 10.5 Xcode 3.1.4 (9M2809). My 10.6 does not want to cooperate with me
today. Also note, on 10.5 compiling the contribs were a piece of cake
(compiling the main project is a different story, but is unrelated to these
patches)

This patch set eliminates the need to explicitly set the compilers and
additional development tools (ar, ld, strip, & ranlib).

It is my understanding that on Xcode 4.2.1, Apple's default compiler
(/usr/bin/gcc) is no longer GCC 4.2 and it wreaks havoc when trying to compile
the contribs. The first patch checks to see that the compilers referenced CC
and CXX environment are at least version 4.2.x.

The second patch eliminates the explicit assignment of AR, LD, STRIP and
RANLIB. I didn't understand the history behind why they were previously set.

I look forward to any feedback.
