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/vlc-3.0. ... bf;hb=HEAD

My build stops at the File to patch: prompt in the code below -- HOW DO I FIX THIS? Please help.

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|Libtool checks only for libraries linked as -l* when trying to
|find internal compiler libraries. Clang, however uses the absolute
|path to link its internal libraries e.g. compiler_rt. This patch
|handles clang's statically linked libraries when finding internal
|compiler libraries.

What information do I need to enter to get the build to complete? Thank you.

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

Seems you maybe copied a wrong file.

Try again with the tarball of VLC 3.0.11.1, this should include all needed patches right from the start.

Thanks @dfuhrmann -- Downloaded 3.0.11.1 and ran "build with single command"

Code: Select all

../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?

You are still confusing warnings with errors. A warning is no error, maybe you should better try to understand the difference between both.

Posted: **06 Aug 2020 23:28**

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

Posted: **08 Aug 2020 11:09**

Did you consider that write error might have something to do with your file system, potentially. And not with the build script?
