Hi,

I'm a newbie in vlc development for mac and have a question concerning user interface changes.
I've been playing around with vlc-1.1.11 source on Mac OS X 10.6 lately and wanted to change stuff in the GUI (extras/package/macosx/Resources/English.lproj/Open.nib). However the changes won't appear in the built app. I searched the Makefile for some sort of rebuild-gui command but couldn't find one. One time I had to rebuild VLC with the configure flag --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk due to a problem with missing header files in the 10.5.sdk - suddenly the changes I did in Open.nib appeared (bootstrap, configure, make). So I tried changing stuff in the GUI again - hitting make -> no success; hitting bootstrap, configure... and make -> no success. If I change stuff in the code hitting make suffices in order to test my changes.

So.... my question: How do I explicitly build the GUI in order to see my changes?

Thanks

maybe rm -rf VLC.app and make VLC.app could help.

cool thanks that worked... didn't think of removing VLC.app before hitting make VLC.app again

Thanks!

This is why the nibs weren't updated. You don't need to re-bootstrap...
