Ok. I understand. It seems that CMake is broken on Leopard at the  
moment...
Probably better to wait for a fix from CMake guys.

I finally understood that it was a problem with my home directory.
It's located on "/Volumes/#Home/...." and I guess fribidi chokes on  
the "#"
character in the current path...

I relocated the sources to another places and it works.

Here what I have now :
- theora fails -> skipped
- ebml -> matroska web server is down, cannot get the tarball... ->  
skipped
- ffmpeg -> configure step fails "Unknown option "--enable-swscaler"" - 
 > removed this flag
- asa -> cannot get the tarball "file has zero length" -> skipped

Now the contrib compilation ends, finally :-)

Now to VLC itself :

	Mac-Pro:vlc-0.9.0-git enicolas$ ./configure --enable-debug --with- 
macosx-sdk
	...
	configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
	See `config.log' for more details.

config.log says:

	configure:3683: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
	/Xcode2.5/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: /usr/ 
lib/gcc/../libSystem.dylib unknown flags (type) of section 6  
(__TEXT,__literal16) in load command 0
	collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm stuck here for now...
