[vdr] Error by compiling libmad

["Jens Dorstewitz" <dorstewitz@gmx.de>]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to compile the libmad MP3 decoder
but without success. The configure-script runs
fine, but when I run make this error occurs:

I tried to set a host type as described in the readme,
but that doesn't helps.
I use Suse 7.3 and VDR 0.98. With mpg123 and VDR 0.97
I didn't have such problems.
That is my second problem that I have with the libtool.
The first was by installing the DVB-driver. The libtool
of Suse 7.3 has a larger version number. So I commented
the lines out in the source and now it work.

I thought that I could help myself, but I failed.
Because I'm not a Linux-expert I hope that someone
can help me. Thanks.

Bye
