[vlc-devel] VLC source compilation issues for Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)

[Raj Kondabala]

Hi all,

I am trying to compile VLC source code for Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.2) on
MacBook based on Intel dual-core processor. I am running into several
problems from compilation perspective.

My goal is to eventually compile VLCKit for Mac so I can create Cocoa
objective-C video viewing app around it.

I initially got the tar ball file for VLC 1.0.4 and started compilation from
extras/Contrib directory as directed on  http://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile
web site.

Since the 64bit compilation is not guaranteed to work, I am just trying it
for 32 bit only for now.
My process is as follows:

I initially set following environment variables:
$ export CC=/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2
$ export CXX=/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-g++-4.2
$ export OBJC=/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2

Then, I performed following commands in extras/contrib:
Downloaded contrib-macosx-i386-1.0.3.tar.bz2 to extras/contrib
 ./bootstrap i386-apple-darwin10
./make

Then, I performed following in vlc root dir:
./bootstrap
./configure --build=i386-apple-darwin10 CFLAGS="-arch i386" CXXFLAGS="-arch
i386" LDFLAGS="-arch i386" OBJCFLAGS="-arch i386"

All these steps went very well, but the make I did from vlc root seems to
fail with libtool error pasted below.

Could somebody with Mac expertise throw some light how I can get around this
issue?

Is compiling entire source code needed to use VLCKit for Mac?

Any help is appreciated. I am a new developer in VLC domain.

Regards,
Raj
