Arch Linux

the package in the archvdr git has the patches and works great

It needs several patches to be up to date (for vdpau, etc)

It must be your version of xine-lib ...
try with the one from here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51008
and then try to compile cxfe again from the beginning

I tried with this in PKGBUILD:

unset LDFLAGS
export LIBS="${LIBS} -lpthread"
./configure --prefix=/usr

make still fails thus:

xine-config is DEPRECATED. Use pkg-config instead.
cxfe.o: In function `main':
cxfe.c:(.text.startup+0x992): undefined reference to `xine_gui_send_vo_data'
cxfe.c:(.text.startup+0xe94): undefined reference to `xine_gui_send_vo_data'
cxfe.c:(.text.startup+0x13d6): undefined reference to `xine_gui_send_vo_data'
cxfe.c:(.text.startup+0x13f3): undefined reference to `xine_gui_send_vo_data'
cxfe.c:(.text.startup+0x18f0): undefined reference to `xine_gui_send_vo_data'
post.o: In function `pplugin_parse_and_load':
post.c:(.text+0x265): undefined reference to `xine_strdupa'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [cxfe] Error 1

To get it to compile just edit the PKGBUILD file and just before the ./configure line

add this:

export LIBS="${LIBS} -lpthread"

This package does not compile anymore.
