Hi,

I tried to build VLC and VLCKit in several different ways. I need x86_64 and garbage collection supported. I follow Wiki Page Mac OS X Framework but I don't know what I do wrong.

I use git
- I open ./vlc/projects/macosx/framework/VLCKit.xcodeproj
- I make sure the VLCKit target is selected. I found "Build Everything" target selected (Image 1).



- I select "VLCKit" (Image 2). (when I tried "Build Everything" I found errors too)



- I rightclick on target and build



I found 4 error:





What's wrong? Thank!

I have the same OS version.

I got the "Ls ... /plugins-*.dat: No such file or directory" error, too. That one seems harmless - it won't cause the build process to fail.

The last error is probably caused by the earlier ones. Linking to libvlccore fails, because libvlccore hasn't been built successfully.

As for getting rid of the other two errors, things to try:

• The "Build Everything" target should first build VLC, which creates libvlccore. Check that the "Make VLC" target builds successfully before building VLCKit. (If it finishes immediately without compiling, then there might be a problem even if it says it's successful.)
• Try this, which fixed VLCKit compilation problems for me: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=85362. That is, go into the VLC source tree in the Terminal, and run "make distclean" on the top level (i.e. in the directory that git created when you downloaded the source; in your case, this seems to be "/Users/Fernando/vlc"). Then go back to Xcode and try the "Build Everything" target again. This way it should reconfigure and recompile everything. The problem was that I had first compiled VLC from the command line, which caused the "Make VLC" target in the Xcode project to fail.
