VLCKit - am I too stupid to build it?

[hirnschmalz]

Hi there,

I'm a little bit frustrated at the moment. I try to build the VLCKit without success.
I tried vlc-1.2 and vlc-1.1, I tried it with XCode 3.2.1, 3.2.5 and the XCode 4 Preview. No success.

My last try was

- git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-1.1.git
- rename vlc-1.1 into vlc
- open projects/macosx/framework/VLCKit.xcodeproj with XCode 3.2.5
- Select 'Debug | VLCKit | x86_64' in the target dropdown
- in the project tree opened the 'Targets'
- right clicked on VLCKit and clicked 'Build VLCKit'.

I got 4 errors

find: /Users/markus/vlc/projects/macosx/framework/build/Debug/vlc_build_dir/x86_64/modules: No such file or directory
ls: /Users/markus/vlc/projects/macosx/framework/build/Debug/vlc_build_dir/x86_64/modules/plugins-*.dat: No such file or directory
/Users/markus/vlc/projects/macosx/framework/build/Debug/vlc_build_dir/x86_64/share: No such file or directory
Command /Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1

It would be nice if some one could help me before I'm going crazy

Hi hussam_2000,

did you manage to build VLCKit or do you have as much luck as I have?

I succeeded with building VLCKit on OS X. Here's a tutorial I wrote:

Hope it helps. Good luck!

don't know if this is still needed... anyhow
try this - worked for me:

- git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-1.1.git vlc-1.1
- cd vlc-1.1/projects/macosx/framework
- xcodebuild -alltargets -configuration Release -project VLCKit.xcodeproj ARCHS="x86_64" -sdk macosx10.6
