Since Dec. 3rd there was no successful build of VLCKit for macOS, iOS and tvOS. Same applies to libVLC and the VLC app.

So - maybe I can support you by trying to build locally. Despite the fact, that git clone is awfully slow (can I prepare my own mirror?) I also tweaked the build script to only run 1 job at a time. So it is a matter of patience - but the build stops, as soon as it runs into an error.

So far it looks like libVLC builds fine for tvOS but not for simulator. Finally it is an issue building libvpx for simulator - I reported that already.

Build log is:

make[1]: *** [.DEFAULT] Error 2

So it looks like the .asm extension is not known to the build system... Maybe the rules for ".s" needs to be copied to apply to ".asm" or something to fix in gas-preprocessor even though gas is not used on Mac as it is replaced by clang.

Any hints - and I will try any fix.
Well, and then report the follow up issues.

Yes, I've seen the same issue. However, I don't see the difference in the vlc.git code on Dec 3/4 that makes it fail.

Posted: **29 Dec 2016 14:31**

I assume it is something that has been changed in libvpx contrib.
And well... we should look for a solution to get nightlies back for all darwin based platforms.

Help is welcome.

I would help in spare time (which is rare as you know) but for now git access is really slow - it takes hours to get the full repo of libVLC.
And indeed, this is pain esp. when it is required to get a fresh repository, which happens quite often when building VLCKit.

Posted: **31 Jan 2017 17:35**

vlc.git is not small but it is also not that large, compared to many other projects. And in any case, you only need to download it fully once ever. After that, you can always reference the previous download.

Today I had some more luck... I got about 300 kiB/s for cloning libVLC repository.
Well - usually I simply update the repository but sometimes things get messed up and I have to get a fresh one.
Especially if experiments is breaking some code - even I mostly try to extend VLCKit.

Let's see how todays build works.

Still a pity, that there had been no nightly for tvOS, iOS and macOS since almost 2 months.

Thanks Felix to bring back the nightlies and as far as I have seen in the mailing list you also included my suggested fix for bitcode generation - and btw. added non-parallel builds (when using -v for verbose output). I locally did something similar to trace build issues

Unfortunately I am not able to access the VLCKit repository anymore. git pull returns the error message, that the server rejects/aborts the SSL handshake (using the https: URL).
Something I have to fix on my local machine?

OK, creating a new clone of VLCKit works. So this issue is solved for now.
