Build failed, can't download autoconf and other tools

On MacOS, when i try to build 3.6.0b12 or 3.6.1.b1, the script always fail downloading autoconf and other tools. The script try:

curl -f -L -- "http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/contrib/autoconf/autoconf-2.71.tar.gz"...

but on this repo there is only autoconf-2.69

Same with http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/contrib/automake/automake-1.16.5.tar.gz

Latest version on repo is automake-1.16.1.

A part of the log is:

autoconf not found
automake not found
m4 too old
libtool not found
pkg-config not found
cmake not found
yasm not found
ragel not found
protoc not found
ant not found
xz not found
bison too old
nasm not found
help2man not found
meson not found
ninja not found
To-be-built packages:  autoconf automake m4 libtool pkg-config cmake yasm ragel protoc ant xz bison nasm meson ninja

The buildMobileVLCKit.sh just stop after checking these tools and don't build.

Step to reproduce:

git clone  --depth 1 --branch 3.6.1b1 http://code.videolan.org/videolan/VLCKit.git VLCKit-3.6.1b1
cd VLCKit-3.6.0b12   
./buildMobileVLCKit.sh -f -b

This is a weird report as the script should fallback on the original GNU server in that case, so that must have been off-line at the time of your testing. I uploaded the missing files now as well as a few others.

Can you try again?

Thanks for your help but it's still not working. Here is the log:

I face the same while trying to build for iOS Simulator.

Any solution ?

vlc4 has same issue when use xcode 16。 XCode:Version 16.0 Apple M1: MacOS 15.0.1

@leo based on your errors after calling compileAndBuild.sh a temporary workaround that worked for me on MacOS is to go to your vlckit dir and run this script after a failed compileAndBuild.sh

cd libvlc/vlc/extra/tools

looks like tools.mak is defining the sha512sum for macos incorrectly after either MacOS update or XCode update

I am getting even jankier and trying to download https://www.colm.net/files/ragel/ragel-6.10.tar.gz and place it where it needs to be as I'm getting issues with it downloading via the buildscript...

@krazykonr the version i try to compile use autoconf-2.71.tar.gz and not 2.72. The 2.71 is not in the http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/contrib/autoconf folder. This problem may be linked to a macOS or Xcode update as I had no trouble compiling VLC a few months ago.

@fkuehne Can you verify or explain why the script doesn't fall back to the original GNU server as you say?

@leo understood - I missed that, just saw that we had similar errors. It did correctly fallback to gnu ftp though, as you can tell by parsing the whole line;

curl -f -L -- "http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/contrib/autoconf/autoconf-2.71.tar.gz" > "autoconf-2.71.tar.gz.tmp" && touch autoconf-2.71.tar.gz.tmp && mv autoconf-2.71.tar.gz.tmp autoconf-2.71.tar.gz || ( curl -f -L -- "http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.71.tar.gz" > "autoconf-2.71.tar.gz.tmp" && touch autoconf-2.71.tar.gz.tmp && mv autoconf-2.71.tar.gz.tmp autoconf-2.71.tar.gz && echo "Please upload package autoconf-2.71.tar.gz to our FTP" ) && grep autoconf-2.71.tar.gz /Users/leo/git/VLCKit-3.6.1b1/libvlc/vlc/extras/tools/SHA512SUMS| sha512sum -c

The error is the shasum call sha512sum -c. see:

Please upload package autoconf-2.71.tar.gz to our FTP
usage: sha512sum [-bctwz] [files ...] <--- This shasum call causes the error
make: *** [autoconf-2.71.tar.gz] Error 1
make: *** Deleting file `autoconf-2.71.tar.gz'

If you do what I said, replace sha512sum -c with shasum -a 512 --check, but using your required build tool curl calls, you may have success passing this stage of the compileAndBuild script

Keeping the build issues in this thread, after doing some trickery to keep the build script pushing further after shasum error, manually downloading ragel and placing it in the necessary contrib-$platform dirs, I get some missing directories during build.
