[Elphel-support] Compiling bug fix for VLC streaming

[Andrey Filippov]

Eric,

target.list is used only for the verification, it does not replace
functionality of the of "configure" or "Makefile". When everything is
"installed" (on the host computer), the build script make a list of
the installed files and directories, creates target.list.new and
diff-s it with the saved target.list reporting any differences. The
new built image includes archived source tree (as in /* source is
inside */), and that archive has the target.list matching the archived
source, so if you build from that archive - target.list should match.

We did have problems when some files were missing on the host
computer, and ion the result the built system mas missing some needed
files. Of course, the problems were reported in some long build.log
files, but it was difficult to notice them. That was why we
implemented the target.list - just to make sure all the files that
were supposed to be installed are actually installed.

Andrey
