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:

Please advise how I can fix these and get a clean build:

With all due respect: You should really learn how to provide *full* and *complete* build logs using a pastebin service.

This is now at least the third time you are providing random (and partly irrelevant) log snippets which very likely miss the actual error message.

@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 to help me to BUILD successfully. Thanks in advance

You can use any pastebin service in the internet as you want, to provide larger log files. I can recommend google to search for one. If you care about security, google suggests https://0bin.net/ as this encrypts your data client side.

And please kindly understand that I will not explain you how you retrieve and copy paste a complete terminal output. If you want to compile source code under linux or macOS like systems you should be able to find out by yourself.

Please keep in mind that the VLC 3.0.11.1 source code (at least from git) is automatically compiled fine at least once a day in our outomated CI tool chain. So as a first guess, it is fair to assume that your local environment is the culprit, so its best if you try to understand by yourself what might be wrong, as you are the the person having direct access to your environment.

@dfuhrmann thank you for the 0bin suggestion. You can find the complete output here -- post will stay for 1 month:

I've successfully built VLC 4.0-dev on this system without changes to the local environment -- to include having CommandLine Tools installed. Based on your suggestion I removed it when 3.0.1x would not build.

My local environment is configured per VLC's macOSCompile document here:

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or input you can lend.

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/hrtfs".
This should fix the final packaging problem.

Thank you -- where do you suggest should I create the empty folder? my working tarball directory is vlc-3.0.11.1.

Where I just wrote. And where the build script complains about having a missing folder.
