VLCKit for libVLC 4.0 branch

[Mikhail Kolesov]

Hello,

I would like to look at and run libVLC 4.0 dev changes on iOS. I tried just to change git URL to development branch 4.0 (git clone https://git.videolan.org/git/vlc.git vlc), but failed with MobileVLCKit patching phase.
Have you guys already tried to build VLCKit for libVLC v4.0 or it's a TBD task?

PS. Have not found VLCKit 4.0 branch, so tried with current master (3.x) at https://code.videolan.org/videolan/VLCKit/blob/master. Not sure if it's a correct way.

Here you can set the libvlc hash that vlckit will use to build https://code.videolan.org/videolan/VLCK ... Kit.sh#L28

Hello friends,

I'm also interested in building VLCKit against the 4.0 code for a project that depends on some 4.0 only functionality. I updated the git commit hash to the latest (at the time), 5fca01230f54bfd96aa5477787bdc3ec515bf768, in the compileAndBuildVLCKit.sh script but it failed for m at the patching phase as well.

Is there a recommended next step(s) that I can follow to get VLCKit working against the 4.0 code? If not, I'm also willing to build my iOS app against libVLC directly, but I'm unable to find any instructions for building libVLC 4.0 for iOS.

Thanks in advance.

This will take quite a bit of work and we haven't done this yet because libvlc 4.0 was nowhere near stable enough to try it.
We could have a branch to collaborate on the libvlc change and get input from Thomas Guillem and others who know way more about the core changes.
