[vlc-devel] Mozilla support on RHEL3

Hello,

when I tried to build vlc for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 I always
struggled a bit with mozilla, xpidl and the location of .idl files.
I just realized that setting the variables XPIDL and XPIDL_INC resolves 
most if not all of the problems:

[spindler at gasluft vlc-trunk]$ echo $XPIDL
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2/xpid
[spindler at gasluft vlc-trunk]$ echo $XPIDL_INCL
-I/usr/share/idl/mozilla-1.4.2/

Probably this is interesting for the vlc.spec file as well, as it
hopefully makes some of the cp/mv stuff with /usr/lib/mozilla and
/usr/lib/mozilla-%{mozver} unneccessary. I'll invest some time this
week to see if I can create an example .spec file for current vlc-trunk.

Bye,
Torsten
