[vlc-devel] [PATCH] configure.ac: use absolute path for protoc

[Alexandre Janniaux]

Hi,

Actually the workaround has been in the calling code (in
the extras/package build script for apple) which
systematically added the extras/tools in the PATH.

Without this workaround, the configure script returns:

    configure:55687: checking for protoc
    configure:55703: found /home/alexandre/workspace/videolabs/vlc-meson/extras/tools/build/bin/protoc
    configure:55714: result: protoc

And right after, make returns:

    /bin/bash: protoc: command not found
    Makefile:31476: recipe for target 'stream_out/chromecast/cast_channel.pb.h' failed

Regards,
