So far, I haven’t had time to dig into this much more, but when I try to follow the instructions on the OSXCompile page, I’m able to get it configured but the build eventually fails with some complaints about undefined symbols related to iconv:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;">Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;"> "_iconv", referenced from:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;"> __nl_find_msg in libintl.a(dcigettext.o)</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;"> (maybe you meant: _vlc_iconv_open, _vlc_iconv , _vlc_iconv_close )</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;"> "_iconv_open", referenced from:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;"> __nl_find_msg in libintl.a(dcigettext.o)</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;"> (maybe you meant: _vlc_iconv_open)</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;">ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64</div><div><br></div></div><div>I’ve seen some postings online about this being caused by a version of iconv being installed from MacPorts, but I have dozens of other packages installed that depend on that MacPorts library so I can’t easily uninstall it. When I attempt to work around this by temporarily moving /opt out of the way and try to rely solely on the pre-compiled contribs, I get all sorts of messages in the configure step about things not being found, and one of them ends up being fatal:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;">checking for LIBVORBIS... no</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;">configure: error: in `/Users/ronf/src/vlc/build':</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Inconsolata;">configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.

Interestingly, when I use the old full-screen mode, that does not exhibit the bug I filed about the menu bar disappearing! In fact, it seems to work perfectly as long as the native full-screen mode is turned off with respect to both that and the known issue of not being able to use native full-screen on secondary displays. So, I’m running with that for now. I also found that I had no problem compiling the MacPorts VLC myself, but they seem to use their own version of the contrib library in the build.</div><div><br></div><div>I haven’t had a chance to compare the stock 2.1.3 source code against the MacPorts version to see if any patches were made.</div></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
