Various errors when compiling VLC

[Polochon_street]

Hello there!
I tried to compile VLC for Android, following the officiel wiki, but it fails each time I tries. I overcomed some of the errors by doing dirty fixes, but I assume it may be because of these fixes that the other parts won't compile, so I'm asking you a « clean » way to fix my errors.
The error I encounter right now is this one, when running « sh compile.sh»:

Code: Select all

I remembered that I previously fixed this error by deleting a « -Werror » flag somewhere, but I can't finding it anymore, and I don't know if this is a clean way to continue.
Does someone have any idea please?
Thanks by advance!
(And, well, sorry for my bad English)

Probably need to rebootstrap the vlc builddir.

[Polochon_street]

Run bootstrap again will not help, as I can't find anymore where to cut the -Werror. I tried in gnutls/configure.ac, vlc/configure.ac and severals configure, ran bootstrap every time, but « sh compile.sh » keeps failing at this point... Do you have any idea of which file edit?
Thanks by advance!
(In french, for french native speakers, because my english is really awful...)

Je suis pas sûr que relancer bootstrap sera très utile, vu que je ne trouve plus quel fichier modifier pour que -Werror cesse d'être actif. J'ai enlevé ce flag de plusieurs fichiers, comme gnults/configure.ac ou bien vlc/configure.ac, puis relancé bootstrap et la compilation via « sh compile.sh », mais rien n'y fait. Une idée sur quel fichier modifier du coup?

Merci d'avance!

Seeing the issue in configure.ac, you need to re ./bootstrap.

[Polochon_street]

Okay, so I did ./bootstrap and then sh compile.sh, but it didn't work, I got the same error. Maybe I'm missing something?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Maybe try with Automake 1.11

[Polochon_street]

Tried it, nothing changed...
Am I the only one to experience this bug?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Works fine for me.

Yeah, rebootstrap the vlc builddir and everything works, thanks.
