ps: i can complie with vlc-0.9.4 successfully with script adding --disable-qt4 --disable-skins2 \. i don't know what's wrong with the source of vlc-0.9.6

Why do you add X to everything?

Why do you add X to everything?

i've no idea about adding X to everything.

i didn't add X to libtoll manully.

line 850~853 in vlc-0.9.6/libtool is same as line 801~804 vlc-vlc-0.9.4/libtool.

Code: Select all

case $arg in -*=*) optarg=`$echo "X$arg" | $Xsed -e 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*=//'` ;; *) optarg= ;; esac

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Something is wrong there

[pvthanh]

Do you compile VLC source in Ubuntu Server?
I have same problem in ubuntu server 8.04.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

No, this issue is cygwin only.

I had the same problem...
apparently replacing in the libtool file the line:

ECHO="echo"

with:

echo="echo"

solves the "X" problem... unfortunately I have other problems during compilation later on...
I can't guarantee that it's cause of the change in the libtool file, sincerly I don't think so...
just try!
