Hello ,
I obtained the latest version of vlc with git .
" gettext version 0.16.1 or later " is the message written in HACKING file
which generates the configure script .
But actually I had to install gettext 0.17 .
generating modules/**/Makefile.am and m4/private.m4
..........................................................................
+ echo
+ cp -f INSTALL INSTALL.svn
+ autoreconf --install --force --verbose -I m4
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: running: autopoint --force
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
aclocal:configure.ac:5610: warning: macro `AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT' not found in
library
configure.ac:387: error: m4_undefine: undefined macro:
AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD
configure.ac:387: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

now this is the message I am getting .

I am interested in developing for VLC , so I wanted to do a small
qualification task . Can
somebody please mentor me on what will I have to do.

Regards ,
Sathvik.
