<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Best I can tell the problem is that the script used to generate the makefiles has a bug, is not generating a full path to libintl.a. When I check the makefile in the activex directory, I see:</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">I'm pretty sure the specifier needs to be something like /home/mfm/vlc-trunk/extras/contrib/libintl.a -- there's some kind of missing piece, a "TOP_SRC_DIR" or whatever is being used. The same logic used for libiconv.a path definition needs to be used.</FONT></P>
