Hi I use vlc 1.0.0 release to build a nice command line VLC.

installed latest pth from GNU, 2.0.7 to fix pthreads headers.

Code: Select all

Configure finishes without any show stoppers.

Here's the error I get during 'make' :

Found solution on forum:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -e 's/define\s*_POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS\s*/define _POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS -1 \/\/ wrong: /g' -i /usr/include/bits/posix_opt.h

I am having the same problem but when i run the command that is supposed to fix it, it still continues. My mission was to cross compile this (using arm-linux-gcc) for a gumstix arm processor to basically just save an mpeg2 stream, so i don't really need much of the program. I checked my POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS and they are set to -1, so i'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heck, you've just wrongly disabled (working) spin locks on your host system... you need to fix the ARM toolchain headers, not the native ones...
