Your setup is broken, if your compiler cannot compile.

[lintw]

hi dfuhrmann,
i can compiler vlc-ios-2.8.5 (download from: http://get.videolan.org/vlc-iOS/2.8.5/v ... 8.5.tar.gz), but failed!
and i found TESTEDVLCKITHASH (compileDebugLibraries.sh defined ) is incorrect

TESTEDVLCKITHASH=a0bf5544 => commit date is May 10, 2016 at 3:41 PM

This script should no longer be used. It will be removed shortly. Just use cocoapods to install the necessary dependencies.
