@ fkuehne thanks for you suggestions. Couple of observations: This worked previously -- with homebrew installed -- for both .12 and .14 on both Intel and M1 - back as far a March. There must be something in the contribs that has changed. STEPS TAKEN TO TRY TO FIX: checked the .bash_profile and other...

Compiling source as tweaking vlc for mac. Have followed docs and ALL troubleshooting suggestions for compiling including removing 3rd party packagers and exporting path per https://wiki.videolan.org/MacOSCompile/#3rd_party_packagers_and_PATH Getting the following error when using "Build VLC wit...

Correction to my post above. There is NO cmake directory in ~temp⁩ ▸ ⁨VLC⁩ ▸ ⁨vlc-3.0.14⁩ ▸ ⁨extras⁩ ▸ ⁨tools only a cmake-enable-ALPN-support-on-macOS-10.14.patch file. Is this the issue - the cmake directory with the needed source is missing or has been removed from 3.0.12 and 3.0.14? If so what i...

Also you do know that VLC has an AppleTV version of the player? Requires tvOS 11.0 or later

Working on several extensions to vlc so am building vlc source and then making some changes to the code - mostly adding in some of my modules. Note: we are using vlc-3.0.12 as our base source for compatibility and testing reasons. If we have to we can go to .14 however, the questions below *should* ...

@dfuhrmann could you please elaborate? Why would homebrew cause and error ld: library not found for -lzstd ? Is there a suggested fix? When running the individual "build steps" as outlined in https://wiki.videolan.org/MacOSCompile/ the build runs to completion. Please advise how I can reme...

If you run on an M1 mac, then you should upgrade to 3.0.12.1, yes. This version is functionally the same as 3.0.12, but runs as native arm code and is therefore much faster on your mac. @dfuhrmann where can I download SOURCE for 3.0.12.1? Am verifying code against a linux build that is currently at...

@ fkuehne Experimenting with making some changes / adding some functionality and therefore need to build from source. Doing the same thing on Linux and macos intel. So, a pre-built would not work.

Update -- actually got this to compile using the "Build Steps" option using prebuilt contribs from this resource: https://wiki.videolan.org/MacOSCompile/ Note -- this was not the "one command" build, but it did work. VLC.app has a few quirks -- like it loads some icon cones, etc....

Running mac osx 10.14.6 and have previously successfully built 3.0.10 and 3.0.11. Trying to build VLC 3.0.12 from source downloaded from here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html and using recommended build from here: https://wiki.videolan.org/MacOSCompile/ AND using the recommended: ....

Using a compiled version of 3.0.11.1 on a mac (funning 10.14.6). Commands listed below were working with a compiled 3.0.10 When I issue the following command these errors are generated -- note that 23.mp4 is a file located in the current directory -- the current directory is VLC/vlc-3.0.11.1/build/V...

So you are reporting now a totally different error than above. Great, so it seems you were able to resolve the first error you described above. For the second problem I also noticed that and pushed a fix. As a workaround, please go into your extracted tarball, and create an emtpy folder "share...

@dfuhrmann thank you for the 0bin suggestion. You can find the complete output here -- post will stay for 1 month: https://0bin.net/paste/cc-CjikrhmrCcuqU#29sZxdip9P9LJ1-M5oHwi8jiR6r14/avgiDTQQN+vyE I've successfully built VLC 4.0-dev on this system without changes to the local environment -- to inc...

@ dfuhrmann with all due respect -- write error, Error 1 and Error 2 would most certainly be ERRORS not warnings.....

@dfuhrmann I am happy to provide full logs -- however this complaint has been noted by many others -- please suggest the most SECURE and preferred way and location to provide the logs and PLEASE provide a pointer to *where* I will find those logs on build. Happy to provide them if it will allow you ...

Apologies for the extra post -- trying to build 3.0.11.1 to fix a libtool pathfile error and a single command build fails on a mac running Mojave with the following errors -- output snipped -- note multiple issues, including the build doesn't appear to work for macos and a major error at the end: Pl...

Thanks @dfuhrmann -- Downloaded 3.0.11.1 and ran "build with single command" ../extras/package/mocosx/build.sh -c Get the following errors and fatal write errors -- linking is not correct and then see code snip below toward end -- how to fix/recover so I can build? .... CCLD libfile_keysto...

anyone? this will not compile and waiting 7 days for any response ...

Making some extensions to VLC running on Mojave current against 3.0.11 code -- downloaded from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html Based on suggestions from @dfuhrmann in a previous post, downloaded the libtool patch and placed in extras/tools from here: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/...

@dfuhrmann -- an update: I removed command-line tools by simply dragging it to the trash. I was able to get past that last posted error and made good progress until I got the following -- note: my build directory *does* contain files including the VLC.app directory -- which has Contents, etc. -- but...

@dfuhrmann the make fails -- this is a problem, no?:

@dfuhrmann I am not calling commandline tools -- your code base must be calling it. When I compile your 4.0-dev code base this error does not occur. When I try to compile the 3.0.10 code base it does. On this issue I will reachout to the Apple Developer community to try to find an answer and post ba...

@dfuhrmann -- still need help but many thanks for the patch. But this caused other issues. Downloaded the file libtool-2.4.6-clang-libs.patch and placed in extras/tools -- reissued build.sh -c -- ran for some time but it caused this series of errors: NOTE: the MacOSX.sdk file *is* located where your...

Making some extensions to VLC running on Mojave current against 3.0.10 code. Based on suggestions from here I'm using the build.sh and env.build.sh from 4.0-dev. This is the error I'm getting - can anyone please help? This is after at least 6 build.sh -c command where it builds more every time. Inte...
