Hi
I am trying to compile vlc 1.15 with mips tool chain. I am running following command

PATH=/opt/toolchain//bin:$PATH
cd extra/contrib
./bootstrap mips-linux-uclib
make src
cd src/fribidi
After running this ./configure goes fine. But when i run make i am getting following errors.

I did lot of google but found that libtool is missing. But i have libtool install in my system. I have autoconf, automake, aclocal, gettext installed and their version is given below.

aclocal (GNU automake) 1.11.1
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.18.1
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6
pkg-config .25

But i am still getting the error. Can someone please tell me what should i do. I am stuck at this point since last 2 days.
Please give some input so that i can do something further.

Run
libtoolize --version

to check.

Hi J-b

libtoolize 2.2.6

Plz suggest something, i am really looking for ur reply.

Thanks
Gourav

Well, you shouldn't make inside src/fribidi
You should just make in extras/contrib/

Hi j-b

I am running "make src" for /extra/contrib only. I am still getting the same error.

Path from where i am running
/home/gourav/Desktop/working/vlc-1.1.5/extras/contrib
./bootstrap mipsel-linux-uclibc
make src


I hope this is correct. Any other suggestion or something i m missing?

Thanks
Gourav

Hi j-b
Just to make everything fine i did make disclean and again did bootstarpm make src
i got the following error

patching file fribidi/fribidi.pc.in
patching file fribidi/lib/fribidi-common.h
( cd fribidi; rm -f configure; ./bootstrap)
Usable autoreconf found, running

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
