[vlc-devel] Re: Building VLC on MacOS X

[Mark Wells]

Thanks to all who responded. I finally found a cvs snapshot that 
actually contained the contrib folder and followed the instructions.

During make src, the process continues for some time (acquiring all the 
libs etc) before the following happens:

mkdir .libs
chmod 777 .libs
  gcc -I. -I. -I../include -I./../include 
-I/Users/mw/vlc/extras/contrib/include -no-cpp-precomp 
-I/Users/mw/vlc/extras/contrib/include -no-cpp-precomp 
-DLIBDIR=\"/Users/mw/vlc/extras/contrib/lib\" -DENABLE_RELOCATABLE=1 
-DIN_LIBRARY -DINSTALLDIR=\"/Users/mw/vlc/extras/contrib/lib\" 
-DNO_XMALLOC -Dset_relocation_prefix=libiconv_set_relocation_prefix 
-Drelocate=libiconv_relocate -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./iconv.c  -fno-common 
-DPIC -o .libs/iconv.o
In file included from loops.h:24,
                  from ./iconv.c:130:
loop_wchar.h:28: wchar.h: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [iconv.lo] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [.iconv] Error 2
make: *** [src] Error 2

back to the drawing board? is this because i took a (broken) cvs 
snapshot? As mentioned before, I couldnt find any other way of 
acquiring the contrib folder. All my other releases only had a MacOSX 
folder in the vlc/extras/ path - nothing else to be seen.

any idea where to go now?
