When I built on my mac,it turns out ' *** [.harfbuzz] Error 2'

[vhikd]

I run
sh buildMobileVLCKit.sh in terminal

After a long time building, it turns out *** [.harfbuzz] Error 2

make[4]: *** [main] Error 1
make[3]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [.harfbuzz] Error 2

Any solutions?
Wating for your reply.

Hi,

Which branch do you try to build?
Please try to build branch libde265-2.2.0-unstable.

Best regards

Thanks for your reply .
I just build the 2.1-stable . And I will try the 265-2.2.0-unstable.

Hello,
I try the VLCKit-libde265-2.2.0-unstable branch
And the errors as before.

I build it on Mac OS 10.9.2 and Xcode 5.1.1

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/dzy/Desktop/VLCKit-libde265-2.2.0-unstable/MobileVLCKit/ImportedSources/vlc/contrib/x86_64-apple-darwin11-x86_64/lib'

Did you know what happened to me ?

The problem might be in that you already have installed freetype library on your machine. VLC tries to compile all the libraries it needs by itself but when it encounters some of the libraries on your system it tries to use yours. As you see it tries to use '/usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.2/lib/libfreetype.dylib' which is not in '/Users/dzy/Desktop/VLCKit-libde265-2.2.0-unstable/MobileVLCKit/ImportedSources/vlc/...'.

I would suggest you to try to remove freetype library from your machine and then recompile VLCKit. You can also run buildMobileVLCKit.sh with '-v' option to get more information regarding your errors.

We had similar problems until we cleaned up our build machine from all the libraries VLC needs in order for it to build and install its own versions.

Thanks for your reply.
After I remove all of the lib I was built, it works for me finally.
But I got two errors like that :

WARNING: 'automake-1.14' is probably too old.
You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:

http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/
http://www.perl.org/
make[2]: *** [/Users/dzy/Desktop/VLCKit-libde265-2.2.0-unstable/MobileVLCKit/ImportedSources/vlc/modules/Makefile.in] Error 63
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

And the lib and framework was built although.

When I test it on simulator , it works excellent. But on my device , it turns out a lot of errors.

Could you help me to solve this problem?

Thank you very much.

Don't worry about automake-1.14 warning.
The problem you have is that you haven't built libx264 and libvpx for device (armv7, armv7s, arm64 architectures). Unfortunately I can't tell what is wrong with it since build rules are created automatically depending on your setup. It may be caused by recompiling in the same directory though.
If you have repeatedly run the script in your old location, I would try to pull repo in new directory and try to build there, in order to have a clean build.
