VLC build failure on the last step

[wminghao]

Hi,

I followed the instruction to build vlc on iOS for the simulator in release mode. My Xcode is 5.1, and mac OS lion

Here is what I run: sh ./compileVLCforiOS.sh -s

It took an hour, and eventually it failed at the end, here is the error:

=========

I looked the build result directory and couldn't find the .d files mentioned. (i.e., VLCPlaylistViewController.d

ls -al build/VLC\ for\ iOS.build/Release-iphonesimulator/vlc-ios.build/Objects-normal/i386/VLCPlaylistViewController.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 wminghao staff 884 Mar 25 17:37 build/VLC for iOS.build/Release-iphonesimulator/vlc-ios.build/Objects-normal/i386/VLCPlaylistViewController.dia

==========
Does anyone have any clue why that's the case?

Thanks so much,

Howard

Seems like the build failed with a few Source files b/c of wrong import path:

i.e., VLCSettingsController.m
In file included from /Users/wminghao/Develop/vlc-iOS/ios/Sources/VLCSettingsController.m:16:
In file included from /Users/wminghao/Develop/vlc-iOS/ios/Sources/VLCAppDelegate.h:22:
/Users/wminghao/Develop/vlc-iOS/ios/ImportedSources/QuincyKit/client/iOS/BWQuincyManager.h:33:9: fatal error: 'CrashReporter/CrashReporter.h' file not found
#import <CrashReporter/CrashReporter.h>

Any clue how to resolve this?

[wminghao]

Forget to update status.

Figured out, the way to build iOS.

https://wiki.videolan.org/VLCKit/

is the right place, where build is successful.

vs.

https://wiki.videolan.org/IOSCompile

Which gives me the error as indicated by the thread.
