It is impossible to use 10.3.9 SDK to compile INTEL binaries.
 
 
 
As you know, 10.3.9 is a PowerPC only environment.
 
 
 
This page also fails to tell the developer where to get
 
all that is needed to create a working /usr/local
 
and all of the utilities within it.

My sincere apologies for the bad tone of my first post,
 
but I am trying my best to
 
make this work and it has been very frustrating.
 
 
My intention is to make this work and
 
then provide helpful HOW-TO posts in
 
the forums after verifying the solutions.
 
 
Your kind help is most appreciated.

First of all, this wiki isn't the correct place to discuss this kind of questions. vlc-devel at videolan is a far better place. Anyway, it's correct that you can use the 10.4u SDK as well. In fact, VLC obviously automatically does so on Intel-based Macs. Concerning your 2nd comment: no further tool beside the default installation to /usr/local is required to build VLC (excepting svn/subversion in rare cases). Any other 3rd party library, which would usually end up in that directory is built and installed inside VLC's code base, in extras/contrib to be precise. That's clearly stated on this HOWTO page. Please mail the mailing list mentioned above for further feedback. Additionally, when complaining about VLC in general or particularly documentation, keep in mind that we're doing this in our spare time and that we aren't required to answer your requests, especially when strangers to this project get demanding and impolite. feepk 01:27, 1 February 2007 (CET)
