<p>I'm trying to learn how to add modules to the vlc player. I'm
new to working with vlc and this mailing list seemed to be the
closest match for what I was looking for (I did not see one
specifically referencing 'modules'). If I am posting this to
the wrong list, please excuse my ignorance and point me to the
correct place.<br>
</p>
<p>I tried following the instructions on the page '<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://wiki.videolan.org/Hacker_Guide/How_To_Write_a_Module/">https://wiki.videolan.org/Hacker_Guide/How_To_Write_a_Module/</a>'.
I copied the code at the top into hello.c and put the file in
the modules/control directory.<br>
</p>
<p>Following the instructions under 'Compiling your module', I
added the following lines to Makefile.am in the same directory:</p>
<pre class="de1">libhello_plugin_la_SOURCES <span class="sy0">=</span> hello.<span class="me1">c</span>
libhello_plugin_la_CFLAGS <span class="sy0">=</span> $<span class="br0">(</span>AM_CFLAGS<span class="br0">)</span>
libhello_plugin_la_LIBADD <span class="sy0">=</span> $<span class="br0">(</span>AM_LIBADD<span class="br0">)</span>
libhello_plugin_la_DEPENDENCIES <span class="sy0">=</span>
<span class="co2"># Always compile the hello module:</span>
libvlc_LTLIBRARIES <span class="sy0">+=</span> libhello_plugin.<span class="me1">la
When I go back to the 'top' and run 'make', I get these errors:
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/vsi/code/vlc3/vlc-3.0.8/modules'
cd .. && /bin/bash /home/vsi/code/vlc3/vlc-3.0.8/autotools/missing automake-1.16 --foreign modules/Makefile

It seems to have an error with every line I added except the comment. What am I doing wrong?
