problems with compiling on mac os x 10.4 for mac os x
Posted: 01 Sep 2007 08:09
folks,
i am trying to compile vlc media player (from source) on mac os x 10.4 on PPC for mac os x. i just want it to play audiostreams of following formats - mp3, windows media and real audio.
i downloaded the latest source tar ball using svn (svn checkout svn://svn.videolan.org/vlc/trunk vlc-trunk). i configured (using menuconfig) with minimal options and ran build-vlc. i get the following error:
configure: error: --enable-dts is obsolete. Please use libdca and --enable-dca.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
this is weird because i have specifically disabled dts. i verified that it is indeed disabled in the .config file - i found the message "CONFIG_DTS is not set".
how can i resolve this error?
as an alternative option, i downloaded the source code tarball (version 0.8.6c) from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html and i tried to compile. to keep things simple, i did a simple configuration - ./configure --enable-debug. again, the build failed with the following error:
/bin/sh: line 1: vlc-vlc.o: command not found
make[2]: *** [vlc] Error 127
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
could anyone pls. suggest a workaround? is there a better way to compile from source?
pls. let me know.
many thanks in advance,
dave
