Compile error on PPC/Linux: what am I forgetting?

[Andy in Chi]

Ok, I am trying to compile vlc 0.7.0 on my ppc, and I get the following error when I do a make:

I have ffmpeg (src) and zlib 1.1.14 (src) compiled and installed. What have I messed up?

[The DJ]

deflate sounds like a zlib call try configuring ffmpeg without zlib support are edit vlc's configure.ac to have the ffmpeg modules to be linked with -lz

[Andy in Chi]

Alright... adding -lz to the config file worked for those errors.

Now I got new ones coming:

[Andy in Chi]

Nix that last reply, I got it to compile.

had to add -L/(ffmpegdir)/libavcodec/libpostproc -lpostproc to the vlc.config file

Hi Andy!
I am trying to compile VLC on my ppc.too. Would you please tell me what to do?
I download the source code of VLC and open the "vcw" in "EVC" folder. But it shows many errors.
thanks for your help!

[The DJ]

wouldn't you think ./configure
make
make install

would be a bit more logical?
