KPM: fixed problem in compilation -- see http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=62802

== How to build the framework ==

* '''get the [[Git|VLC Source Code from Git]]''':
$ git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

* '''build the core components''':

$ cd extras/contrib
$ ./bootstrap
$ make
$ cd ../..
$ ./bootstrap
$ export CC=/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2
$ export CXX=/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-g++-4.2
$ export OBJC=/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2
$ ./configure
$ make

If the second make fails, giving you an error like:

ld warning: in ///Users/username/dev/vlc/extras/contrib/lib/libx264.a, file is not of required architecture
Undefined symbols:
"_x264_encoder_close", referenced from:
_Close in libx264_plugin_la-x264.o
etc...

then download and build x264. Then copy libx264.a into vlc/extras/contrib/lib/

* '''build the framework''':
** open projects/macosx/framework/VLCKit.xcodeproj
** make sure the VLCKit target is selected
** hit build

== Basic usage in your application ==
The code should speak by itself
// Set up a videoView by hand. You can also do that in the nib file
videoView = [[VLCVideoView alloc] initWithFrame:[[window contentView] bounds]];
[[window contentView] addSubview:videoView];
[videoView setAutoresizingMask: NSViewHeightSizable|NSViewWidthSizable];

// Init the player object
player = [[VLCMediaPlayer alloc] initWithVideoView:videoView];

[player setMedia:[VLCMedia mediaWithPath:@"/to/my/movie"]];
[player play];

== Sample code ==
You should be able to find sample code in:
* Framework/Examples: This is the folder that contains the VLC.framework basics usage.

* vlc-trunk/extras/MacOSX/VLC_app: This is the VLC application that uses the framework intensivly, this is much more advanced.
