[xine-devel] xine-ui works on Mac OS X

[<oz...@al...>]

Hi guys,

With the flurry of Mac OS X portability fixes in the last few days, 
I've managed to build both xine-lib and xine-ui on Mac OS X.  I did 
need to use a very simple one-line patch to make Mac OS X's linker 
happy, but other than that, it runs, and even plays videos :).  No 
audio yet, though!

There are some weird issues with the Controls window: it worked the 
first time, but took a _very_ long time to respond to button presses 
(as in, a few minutes).  After that, it comes up blurry and fuzzy 
instead of displaying properly, so I just disabled it altogether.  The 
right-click menu on the main Xine video output window seems to work, 
though.

Compiling xine-lib:

     * adjust autogen.sh to use glibtool and glibtoolize (rather than 
libtool and libtoolize): Mac OS X already has a binary named 'libtool' 
which is unrelated to GNU libtool, thus the name change
     * Run ./configure with:
       ./configure \
         --disable-altivec \
         --disable-nls \
         --with-x \
         --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
         --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

       I disabled nls because I had problems with gettext and libintl, 
but I think that's a local problem with my system; I have three 
versions of gettext installed, ahem ...

Compiling xine-ui:

     * adjust autogen.sh to use glibtool and glibtoolize (rather than 
libtool and libtoolize): Mac OS X already has a binary named 'libtool' 
which is unrelated to GNU libtool, thus the name change
     * apply patch attached to this message
     * export 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH", so Xine 
can find the xft library (which comes with the Apple X11 SDK)
     * Run standard ./configure

I'l be happy to add some build instructions for Mac OS X to the Xine 
documentation if people would like me to do that.
