Build System to build VLC 3.0.x for OSX >= 10.7

Postby Jo2003 » 20 Jul 2018 13:23

Hi there!

I try to build the VLC player 3.0.x on Mac OSX. I've read the wiki https://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile/. Something always goes wrong ... but as told in the wiki: Building the contribs at my own is no easy job.

I want to build it as close as possible as it was the official build (means the player supports OSX 10.7 and better). Which SDK / Xcode version combination do you use to get the OSX 10.7 compatibility?

Thanks in advance,
Jörg

Use the configuration mentioned at the very top of the page linked by you. Aka latest gratest.

Thank you very much for your help. I had some serious issues with the "latest and greatest" Xcode ;) . In fact I needed to manually re-install the included Xcode resource packages. After that it worked.

Best regards,
Jörg
