[vlc] Build failures on x86_64 and ppc with gcc 4.0 (Fedora Core 4)

[Matthias Saou]

Hi,

I've been able to compile vlc 0.8.2 fine on Fedora Core 4 on an x86
machine, but not on x86_64 nor ppc. Here is the error I get on ppc :

[...]

memcpyaltivec.Tpo" ".deps/libmemcpyaltivec_a-memcpyaltivec.Po"; \ else rm -
f ".deps/libmemcpyaltivec_a-memcpyaltivec.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi

And after quickly replacing "(int)gzf" on line 559 of modules/gui/skins2/
src/theme_loader.cpp with "1" since it was causing an error about the cast
from void* to int, I now get this error on x86_64 :

For the details of the configure options I use, you can see :
http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/rpms/videolan-client/

I've since used ffmpeg-20050624 instead of ffmpeg-20050513 to fix the
build on x86_64 too.
