There is no direct dependence of VLC on gettext, but compilation of 9999 version fails with the following error: ***** autopoint ***** ***** PWD: /var/portage/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-9999/work/vlc-9999 ***** autopoint --force autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.18.3 but this version is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.18.3 or newer. autopoint: *** Stop. Reproducible: Always
Is this reproducable?
Not for me. Compile fails for other reasons.
On second thought -- yes.
I think i fixed this when it failed to build for me, never the less the package needs maintainer :(
