Hi,
up to now JVLC doesn't work on MacOS, since the graphics-jni.cc file has
not been ported to MacOS. The work needed to make this happen should be
really trivial for a MacOS developer; JVLC just needs the equivalent of
these source lines working for X11:

  /* Get the platform-specific drawing info */
  dsi_x11 = (JAWT_X11DrawingSurfaceInfo*)dsi->platformInfo;

  /* Now paint */
  gc = XCreateGC(dsi_x11->display, dsi_x11->drawable, 0, 0);
  XSetBackground(dsi_x11->display, gc, 0);

  value.i_int = dsi_x11->drawable;
  VLC_VariableSet( 0, "drawable", value );
  XFreeGC(dsi_x11->display, gc);

AFAIK, when this code will be available (and Makefile updated) porting
for MacOS will be complete.


Cheers,
fc
