Remove your current checkout or run "make distclean" to do a clean cut, get the latest version of the source and try again.

I also have the same error:

Code: Select all

CCLD libvlc_srtp.la CCLD librtp_plugin.la CC libcdda_plugin_la-cdda.lo OBJC libaccess_eyetv_plugin_la-eyetv.lo CC libcdda_plugin_la-cdrom.lo CC libdvdnav_plugin_la-dvdnav.lo libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag' make[5]: *** [libaccess_eyetv_plugin_la-eyetv.lo] Error 1 make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2

I made a "make distclean"
git pull to get the latest version
ran configure again
This is the info I get after the confogure

Code: Select all

libvlc configuration -------------------- version : 2.1.0-git system : darwin architecture : x86_64 mmx sse sse2 optimizations : yes vlc aliases : cvlc rvlc

before running the make I made sure I was using the libtool executable included in vlc

Code: Select all

sylvain.berger build/$ which libtool /Users/sylvain.berger/Dev/openSource/vlc/extras/tools/build/bin//libtool

And I get the error... I have googled all over trying to find a solution but I am still out of luck

This was caused by a bug in our build system. Please update your git checkout, run bootstrap and configure again. Afterwards, it should be working now.

I redid the entire build from a clean pull and now I get a similar error with "libdvdnav_plugin_la-dvdnav.lo"

Sorry, I forgot to push another patch yesterday. Please update your git checkout (git pull --rebase) navigate to extras/tools, run "make clean && make" and bootstrap, configure, make VLC again. This way, it will work.

I pulled and did what you suggested but still get the same exact error.

I then tried from scratch by pulling a clean copy of the repo.
my repo is at this commit at the time of writing this message:
commit 5b1d18e73415d0e6442387dd8140685e73429db5
Author: Pierre Ynard <linkfanel@yahoo.fr>
Date: Fri Oct 12 00:50:26 2012 +0200

and it failed with the exact same error again.

Is there a log I could provided that would help you diagnose the bug?

I am trying to build vlc from the git repository on a power Mac G5 running OS X Leopard 10.5.8.
I have the commit from 2012-10-17 08:54:59 SHA1 ID: 4a8d38843ad4012e2ea0c75e0c485edd6a41ce07

I am using make from the command line, not Xcode.

I saw these error messages:

Code: Select all

OBJC libaccess_eyetv_plugin_la-eyetv.lo libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

I worked around this problem by adding the following line to modules/access/Modules.am --

Code: Select all

libaccess_eyetv_plugin_la_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --tag=CC

I worked around this problem by adding the following line to modules/access/Modules.am --

Code: Select all

libaccess_eyetv_plugin_la_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --tag=CC

This works for 64bit builds: x86_64-apple-darwin11
You additionally need to add the tag for qtcapture and qtsound as well.
OR don't edit Modules.am and correctly set your environment

Code: Select all

$ export CC=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc $ export CXX=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/c++ $ export OBJC=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc

However I'm still getting Errors for 32bit builds such as: http://pastebin.com/1q0XDAuU

I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.2
