Errr, this is an old, old port, and the bug has already been fixed in the VLC port. Have you tried using that instead?

[rudloff@…]

The VLC port won't build on Tiger :

Error: VLC 1.0.6 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or greater, use port 'VLC09' instead
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: incompatible Mac OS X version

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

We should just need to back-port something like ​this; testing now.

[rudloff@…]

I tried the patch and got this error :

x264.c:951: error: 'x264_param_t' has no member named 'b_bframe_pyramid'

So I tried with -x264 and got this error :

/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: Undefined symbols:
_av_free_packet
_av_init_packet

Replying to rudloff@…:

x264.c:951: error: 'x264_param_t' has no member named 'b_bframe_pyramid'

Fixed in r87381 but that still leaves:

Really, your best bet for getting VLC on Tiger is to download the 0.9.10 binary from the VLC web site.

I updated VLC09 to build on Tiger a little while ago, mainly by removing support for things that no longer worked...
