VLC: Could not find libswscale on Snow Leopard

Reported by: ryandesign@… Owned by: mnick@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.0
Keywords: snowleopard Cc: devans@…, huahang.liu@…
Port: VLC

Description

I can't build VLC 1.0.1 on Snow Leopard: 

checking for SWSCALE... no
configure: error: Could not find libswscale. Use --disable-swscale to ignore this error. Proper software scaling and some video chroma conversion will be missing.

I have all the dependencies installed as x86_64/i386 universal binaries but VLC won't build (neither x86_64/i386 universal nor plain x86_64).

  • Summary changed from VLC: Could not find libswscale to VLC: Could not find libswscale on Snow Leopard

libswscale is supposed to come from ffmpeg, but ffmpeg explicitly disables libswscale on Snow Leopard because of problems; see #20938.

I don't have access to 10.6, so i can't test it, but the patch above should disable swscale on 10.6 until #20938 is resolved

Yes, that gets me further, but then it stops at​ 

config/file.c: In function 'SaveConfigFile':
config/file.c:687: error: implicit declaration of function 'fdatasync'
