Hi,

While compiling transcode, I get the following error. I've tried selfupdate a couple of times with both cvs and rsync, but to no avail. Couldn't find anything in the FAQ that helped either. Any ideas?

This is a real bug in the transcode build system. They haven't prepared for the case where an OS is so complete that the support library is not needed.

What they need to do is to introduce a dummy source file just like for libdldarwin. For the Fink package, this can be achieved easily by a patch script that does

 touch libsupport/dummy.c

and changes two lines in libsupport/Makefile so that they read

libsupport_a_DEPENDENCIES = dummy.o
libsupport_a_LIBADD = dummy.o
