MobileVLCKit for iOS with bitcode enabled

[mikyfalcom]

Hi all,

I'm frustrated.

What should I do to compile the library, with bitcode, for use on iPhone / iPad (no TVOS!)?

This is the sequence of commands that I tried:
- git clone http://code.videolan.org/videolan/VLCKit.git --> OK NO ERROR
- ./buildMobileVLCKit.sh --> OK NO ERROR
- ./buildMobileVLCKit.sh -b --> FAILED WITH THE FOLLOWING ERROR

clang: warning: optimization flag '-fno-rounding-math' is not supported

You can help me?

The configuration of my system is:
- OSX 10.11.5
- Xcode 7.3.1 (7D1014)

Thank you very much.

Hi, are we able build the MobileVLCKit for iOS with bitcode support now? Am still unable to do so with the VLCKit-iOS-2.8-4d09d0f5e580f7c17169a0936dbadc69f56b5e95 build

No, compilation with bitcode support always fails.
I also tried VLC-Kit-iOS-2.8 but it fail again.

Has anyone found a solution?

Sigh :/ samples using Cocoapods work though. Just not the building of the static framework with bitcode via the script

We don't support bitcode for iOS as of yet. Bitcode is only available to tvOS builds at the moment. While the changes are potentially trivial to do (you just need to edit the build script for VLCKit), we currently don't have resources available to allocate to that.
