[vlc] vlc 0.6.0 compilation problem

[Richard Stevenson]

Hi all

I've been trying to build vlc, and getting a bit frustrated by it.  I'm
using this ./configure commandline:

./configure --enable-mkv --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
--enable-alsa --enable-mozilla \
--with-ffmpeg-tree=/home/richard/compile/ffmpeg-cvs-2003-07-15


The compile goes mostly OK, but I'm getting this message (I apologise for
the long lines; I didn't want to wrap it manually in case I mess it up):

I compiled wxWindows using this version: wxGTK-2.4.1 and this ./configure
line: ./configure  --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-shared --with-x.  I
also got this error when using wxWindows compiled from wxWindows-20030418,
which I downloaded from the videolan site.

This is running on Debian Woody.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this, and get vlc up and running?  I can't
find anything on this either using Google or in the mailing list archives.

Many thanks

Richard
