Compiling VLC for Mac OS X

[Michael Butler]

Well that sorta worked.  I got it to make the app partially, even though 
it ended in an error.  It runs.  It plays an mpeg movie... or at least 
its sound track.  I tried building the kext, but it says a bunch of 
things about the kext files being invalid and so I can't really play 
dvds or anything at all with it.  Sure would like to though...

here is the error from the pbxbuild:
DVDioctl.cpp: In function `int DVDBlockIoctl(int, long unsigned int, 
char *, int, proc *)':
DVDioctl.cpp:488: parse error before `->'
DVDioctl.cpp: In function `void DVDReadWriteCompletion(void *, void *, 
int, long long unsigned int)':
DVDioctl.cpp:617: warning: unused variable `dev_t dev'
...failed CompileCplusplus 
/var/root/vlc-0.2.72/extras/DVDioctl/build/DVDioctl.build/DVDioctl.build/Objects/
ppc/DVDioctl.o ...
** BUILD FAILED **
