[vlc-devel] Build issues on Ubuntu 8.04

[Dave Still]

By commenting out lines 247 and 248 of /modules/demux/avformat/ 
demux.c, I'm able to compile and get a working executable, but I don't  
know what this breaks.  CODEC_TYPE_ATTACHMENT seems to be defined in  
an ffmpeg header file, ffmpeg/libavcodec/avcodec.h, which is included  
by demux.c.  The same header defines CODEC_TYPE_DATA which doesn't  
cause an error.

         default:
             es_format_Init( &fmt, UNKNOWN_ES, 0 );
             if( cc->codec_type == CODEC_TYPE_DATA )
                 psz_type = "data";
/* this code no worky */
//            else if( cc->codec_type == CODEC_TYPE_ATTACHMENT )
//                psz_type = "attachment";

             msg_Warn( p_demux, "unsupported track type in ffmpeg  
demux" );
             break;
         }
