gtkpod / faac clashes

Well, I tried to get gtkpod 0.99.2 running today, but with minimal success. It compiles fine, but without MPEG 4 support, which is needed for AAC and video handling. The problem seems to be with faac’s libmp4v2. It seems to require config.h, which is a generic part of the autoconf setup, and has no place in it’s installation on the system (using the Ubuntu packages). The stock FAAC tarball doesn’t compile, nor does current CVS. FAAC seems pretty useless to me right now, and it’s a pain having to dump my videos onto the iPod FS, only to pull them off and resync with iTunes.

Anyone solved this?

I got it fixed by buying an Apple and using iTunes. HA!

It worked for me in Ubuntu breezy after commenting out the following two lines in /usr/include/system.h from libmp4v2-dev:

#include

char *strsep(char **strp, const char *delim);
