[vlc] OS X 10.10: Error during compiling

[Kevin Ingwersen (Ingwie Phoenix)]

Hey guys! This is my first post here, so please don’t be too rude. :)

I was beginning to learn to use the libvlc library, but I had troubble setting it up.

First it was unclear where the Sparkle and BGHUDAppKit frameworks ahd to go.
Second, I don’t understand why there is a Make based package resolver and yet you have to install them on your own? I thought that the build process of libvlc would simply include and use that, as a dependency control.

The error I got will follow below. Here is how I configured:

$ ./configure --with-contrib --disable-libgcrypt --disable-qt --disable-macosx-qtkit && make

I do not have - and want to - QT installed. Therefore all the disable switches. But I still get an error, here:

How can this be fixed?

Kind regards, Ingwie.

You should read the documentation, and actually build the contribs.
With my kindest regards,
