I've checked out the git-repository on git://git.videolan.org/vlc-bindings/VLCKit.git
and followed the instructions on https://wiki.videolan.org/VLCKit/

The whole kit compiles perfectly for iOS devices, but not for the Simulator.
I have Xcode 6 GM installed and I try to compile for the simulator with iOS SDK 8.0:

./buildMobileVLCKit.sh -s
.
.
.
FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

The following settings are used:

platform unix
compiler xcrun clang
configuration directory ./builds/unix
configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk
.
.
.

** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:

(2 failures)

I've done a lot of research but I didn't find any solution which worked for me.

Perhaps someone could help me?

I am having the exact same issue building VLCKit on OSX 10.9.4, XCode 6 GM, and iOS 8.0. It successfully builds for iOS, but for the iOS Simulator, it fails at the same spot.

THANK YOU!

I had isolated the problem to the clang compilation command, but couldn't figure out why it would fail on an empty main() function. I wouldn't have suspected changing the miphoneos-version-min parameter would fix it.

For anyone else with this problem, I ended up frankensteining together the following patch (I'm very new to git):

Thank you guys,

adding your patch I can build the framework totally, for iOs and Simulator!

Posted: **28 Oct 2014 17:24**

Unfortunately, I am having the same problem, though this fix is not working for me. The build.sh just reverts to it's previous state, and MobileVLCKit fails to build. My freetype log is the same as above. Any suggestions?

Posted: **06 Nov 2014 17:43**

I used the latest git source.
Did you try to add the patch into the patch folder, make clean and redo the ./buildMobileVLCKit.sh?
