Compiling VLC [solved]

[shevegen]

Hi
I normally dont ask on non-linux specific forums, but this time, its bugging me too much. I have compiled and use from source most applications,
xvid, mplayer, kplayer, libxine, xine-ui, gxine, libmpeg2 and a lot of other things.

Compiling VLC 0.8.5 though fails always at file "cdda.c"
Short error message:

../../include/vlc_playlist.h:403: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '{' token
cdda.c:49: error: storage class specified for parameter 'Open'


Anyway has an idea why?
All i know about this file is:
"cdda.c - CD digital audio input module for vlc using libcdio"

Is the problem with libcdio?

Try also asking on the vlc forum: http://forum.videolan.org/

Or try 0.8.6 or the latest svn to see if that helps: svn co svn://svn.videolan.org/vlc/trunk vlc

Or try to disable the cdda compilation with a --disable-cdda (check the output of ./configure --help for more options).

Hi, thanks for your help.

I did two things to solve my problem:

- Recompiled latest python
- Recompiled latest libcdio

And, VLC compilation worked! :)
