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. Intereing to note - 4.0-dev built find but we're using 3.0.10 as a code base and can't move. PLEASE HELP.

You seem to build from a source tarball. It seems this is a packaging mistake which I will fix for the next release.

In the meantime, you can download the affected patch file manually from http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/vlc-3.0.git;a=tree;f=extras/tools;h=a7765fd66e6d86b188587033e20828748497e3bf;hb=HEAD and copy it into the correct folder of your unpacked source tarball.

@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:

Dont use command line tools, this does not work for some reason only Apple knows.

Makes sure to only use the tools in Xcode.app, and also the SDK delivered in Xcode.app. Maybe you need to move away or delete the commandline tools folder.

Posted: **18 Jun 2020 20:23**

@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 back - I do not know if I can remove commandline tools as other code I work with uses it -- but maybe will try your suggestion.

Can you please HEPLP with the other errors -- which fail prior to the commanline issue:

They are no errors in your log snippet you just posted.

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

Well, then you should post the full log which actually shows the error, otherwise I cannot really help you.

@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 when I look at it in the finder, it has a circle with a slash through it -- I can't launch it -- can you look at the below and kindly let me know why -- thanks.

One other comment -- as suggested in the docs, I'm using the build.sh script and the env script from the 4.0-dev distro. Thanks. I can post the full log if needed.
