[vlc-devel] [patch] patch to configure.ac , solve avcodec-zlib link issue

[cc]

this patch applys to:
vlc: snapshot20051003
(with ffmpeg: latest cvs)


when vlc configured without `--with-ffmpeg-tree',
and ffmpeg built without enabling zlib,
building vlc will failed with :

`deflateReset'
/home/me/src/v/ffmpeg/libavcodec/lcl.c:589: undefined reference to `deflate'
''


this is because libavcodec links to zlib,
and ld requires options ordered like this `-lavcodec -lz', not '-lz -lavcodec'.
this patch fixed this .
after apply, you 'll have to run
  autoreconf
to regenerate `configure' script.
