It looks as though you have not migrated MacPorts from Lion to Mountain Lion. If you had, I believe you would've failed earlier in the process with qt4-mac failing to build.

Furthermore, you should not use trac to report issues you are seeing with developer preview versions of XCode.

[zoleg@…]

MacPorts installed from svn on clean MLion, QT4 installed from ports on this MLion.

[zoleg@…]

with -qt4 variant VLC installed and worked

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Interesting. I still haven't gotten a qt4-mac installed on ML. Thanks for bouncing back.

This is a bug in the vlc build system and should also occur when you use an older xcode version or older operating system for compilation.

See ​https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7279

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Ok, thanks. I'll just follow it in VLC's trac and incorporate their changes once made.

Closing as invalid, upstream to resolve.
