using libVlc in a C++ project in Mac OS Xcode

[pier25]

Hi

I'd like to try libVlc in a C++ project on Mac OS.

I've seen post that say that I need to link to the dylib files in the VLC.app contents.

I've found those files:
libvlc.5.dylib
libvlc.dylib
libvlccore.5.dylib
libvlccore.dylib

Which one do I have to use?
Can I move that file somewhere else?
Is FFMPEG included in those files?
Will I need to move the header files (.h) too?

Any help is appreciated.

All.
Depends on the linker configuration, please check your OS documentation.
No.
Depends how you setup your build system, nobody can answer this here.

What i ended up doing is this little script to setup temporary app with links to VLC.app

ifeq ($(PLATFORM),Darwin)
CXXFLAGS += $(APP_CUSTOM)
VLC = /opt/local/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS
APPDIR = ../$(APPNAME).app
APPMAC = $(APPDIR)/Contents/MacOS
APPBIN = $(APPMAC)/$(APPNAME)
APP_CUSTOM = $(shell rm -rf $(APPDIR) && mkdir -p $(APPMAC) && ln -s $(VLC)/lib $(APPMAC)/lib && ln -s $(VLC)/plugins $(APPMAC)/plugins && ln -s $(VLC)/share $(APPMAC)/share && ln -s ../../ $(APPDIR)/Contents/Resources && sed -e "s/APPNAME/$(APPNAME)/g" ../pkg/Info.plist >$(APPDIR)/Contents/Info.plist && echo 'APPL????' > $(APPDIR)/Contents/PkgInfo)
endif
