As I read on the developers site I should not post any questions on
how to compile vlc, so I hope this is the right place to ask for help.
I try to compile the VLC Mac OS X Framework to use it in an own project.
Firtst of all I tryed to follow the instructions from the WIKI on how
to compile vlc itself. I managed to solve some problems compiling the
required libraries.
There where some errors when compiling ffmpeg. I get rid of the
errors changing the following compile options in vlc-trunk/extras/
contrib/src/Makefile:
From To
--enable-pp --enable-postporc
--enable-swscaler --enable-swscale
After that changes I can do a make in vlc-trunk/extras/contrib/
without any error.
But when I call ./bootstrap in vlc-trunk/ it ends up in the following
erro:
...
generating modules/**/Makefile.am and m4/private.m4

You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `autotools'.

If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /Volumes/Sandbox/VLC/vlc-trunk/extras/contrib/bin/
autoconf failed with exit status: 1
and I have no idea how to solve this.
After reading about the problems on building vlc on Leopard I decide
to setup a sandbox system which is as follows:
Mac OS X 10.4.11 (plain fresh setup)
XCode 2.4.1
X11
Subversion 1.4.6
CMake 2.4-patch 8
vlc-trunk checked out on 2008-03-11
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks
Ralf
