[vlc-devel] compiling modules

[Matthew Romaine]

Folks,

Sorry for all the newbie questions; VLC is a fantastic project and I'm 
thoroughly impressed with what you guys have done.  There's just a lot 
wrap my head around!

I've been trying to compile my own module following the instructions on 
modifying Modules.am under modules/codec, as well as adding an entry in 
AX_ADD_PLUGINS, but looking at the Makefile lines for the other codecs 
I'm guessing I need to add more information.  Is there a more detailed 
explanation of the changes needed, or am I to just cut/paste and follow 
a similar module's entries?  I'm assuming modifying configure.ac is the 
way to go...

Also, for those using OSX, the source for vlc-0.7.1, and wanting to 
compile their own modules, I had to upgrade automake and autoconf so 
that aclocal could regenerate configure.in files incorporating my own 
module.  Unfortunately the upgrades seemed to generate a broken 
configure, so simply typing "make" spits out the error:

$ make
srcdir=. ./toolbox --update-includes
srcdir=. ./toolbox --update-includes
srcdir=. ./toolbox --update-includes
cd . && /bin/sh /Users/mromaine/code_bases/vlc-0.7.1/autotools/missing 
--run autoheader
touch ./)].in)].in
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: ~touch ./)].in)].in'

doing a
$make vlc
makes it compile fine, although I had to manually compile a few 
subdirectories since make didn't recurse into them...

thnx,
matt
