VLC 0.8.6c build errors

[krmathis]

I downloaded the VLC 0.8.6c tarball, and tried to build on Mac OS 10.4.10 (PowerPC), using GCC 4.0.1 and 10.4u.sdk. But the build process failed twice when building the external libs.

Error #1:
Patching the file 'liveMedia_version.hh' in live555 failed (I manually edited the patch file and worked my way around this one):

Error #2:
The file dirac-0.5.4.tar.gz are not available on the server, resulting in build failure (I manually downloaded the file from a different mirror, put it in the right place, and got around this one as well...):

Code: Select all

I worked my way around these two issues, and ended up with a successful build. But these two issues should imo be fixed....
Have to add that Trunk build successfully straight out of the box.
