Looks like only 9999 needs to be updated; other live builds can still use the older gettext.
Friendly bump. Is there a reason why this trivial fix hasn't been applied yet?
Hi BT, sorry for the delay. I will be working on merging a few changes into 9999 tonight including this. Once that's done and tested I'll be working with proxy-maint to get this posted. Apologies for the delay; the VLC 9999 is a bit tricky to maintain with the jump to FFmpeg 3.0 which doesn't work for VLC-2.2.x. Anyways, I should have time tonight and hope to have the updated version out by tomorrow.
A new ebuild with this change and several others is available in bug 593228. If you have a moment, please test it and provide feedback in either bug report.
(In reply to Nick Andrade from comment #8) Builds with gcc-4.9.3, ffmpeg-3.1.3 and qt-5.6.1. Thanks.
