[vlc-devel] Can someone please assist me with the Mac OSX build from CVS?

[John Michael Zorko]

Hello ...

I realize that the VLC developers et al are likely busy, but i've 
posted this issue 3-4 times now with no response at all.  Any help 
would be appreciated ... i've installed the latest /usr/local stuff, 
everything seems to be in the right place (and not in the wrong 
places), but when I build VLC from CVS, the following errors are 
reported:

I ran ./configure thusly:

[dhcp-209:videolan/vlc_from_CVS/vlc] jmzorko% ./configure --disable-x11 
--disable-xvideo --disable-gtk --disable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg 
--with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 
--enable-dvdplay --enable-faad --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg 
--enable-theora --enable-faac --enable-mkv --enable-freetype 
--enable-debug

... then just did a make.  Is the version of ffmpeg / libavcodec in the 
latest /usr/local too old?  Is there another problem that i've not 
handled correctly?  This is building VLC according to the instructions 
on the developers pages on videolan.org, and the code is straight from 
CVS -- no changes at all.  I'd be grateful for some help from the VLC 
community on this -- i'm sure that a few moments of someone's time will 
be all that is needed.

Regards,

John
