Good luck with that.  My experience with that track is that they will just close your ticket and tell you to piss off.

Yeah, the last time I touched it, it built fine and gave me a functional VLC.app.

As upstream developers' manners leave much to be desired, I opted to stop maintaining the port and haven't really messed with it for quite some time.

Can you point me to a build log?  I'll take a look later.  Too tired now...
