[vlc-devel] Build issues on Ubuntu 8.04

[Dave Still]

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on AMD64, and I'm getting the following  
compile error:

gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../.. -I../../../include -

According to a post in the web forum ( http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&p=153209 
  ), this is not an isolated occurance.  My last successful build on  
Ubuntu was several weeks ago, but I hadn't tried in quite a while.   
Any ideas as to what might be causing this, or perhaps a fix /  
workaround?

Thanks,
- Dave
