compiling on MacOSX

[Eric Carlson]

I think there might be an error in the makefile in 0.2.72 (I assume 
that's what you're using). Try the CVS snapshot here:

http://www.videolan.org/packages/snapshots/vlc-
snapshot-20010419-00.tar.gz

I just tried building it and it builds without errors. vlc.app seems to 
work fine playing an unencrypted vob file (but it's still pretty 
touchy... I just tried again and it quit unexpectedly) but the command 
line version gets a little ways into the vob file and fails with some 
malloc errors.

Also, if you're having problems, try downloading and installing the 
latest libSDL (http://www.libsdl.org/ ... not sure if this is still 
required) and libdl.

If vlc.app is misbehaving, check your console log (open the Console 
application) for errors since vlc.app puts messages there.

Oh, and don't worry about your questions being trivial... I just figured 
most of this stuff out within the past week or two :-)
