Hi,

Compiling v0.8.6e on a FreeBSD 6.3 host ends up with the following error:

Does anybody know how to fix this? With 0.8.6d everything worked perfectly.

Thanks, Erik

API of libcaca has changed, either upgrade or downgrade libcaca, or look at detection code in vlc 0.9.0

Here is the changeset, maybe you can ask the ports maintainer to use it.

Thanks for your quick response. I don't think I really need this libcaca, so I disabled this option in my VLC configuration. After having done this, the VLC 0.8.6e port was built and installed without any problem.

Hi,
Help me, PLEASE
Compiling v0.8.6e on a FreeBSD 6.x host ends up with the following error:
Best regards , Fenomen

Hi,

Make sure that /etc/make.conf DOES NOT contain the following lines:
WITH_X11=NO
WITHOUT_X11=YES

If one of these is in, remove them, and rebuild vlc including all required ports.

I always use portupgrade to install or upgrade ports. In case of problems, the following might help:
portupgrade -R vlc
or, if you have to rebuild all ports required by vlc:
portupgrade -fR vlc
(see man portupgrade for details)

Hope this helps.

cheers, Erik
