transcode-1.0.2 (SuSE 10.)

[PsypherPunk]

I'm trying to compiled the transcode-1.0.2-src.rpm but keep getting errors. The ffmpeg/avcodec.h file is in the default location '/usr/include' and libavcodec.so is in '/usr/lib'.

However, I get this error:

ERROR: requirement failed: cannot compile ffmpeg/avcodec.h
ffmpeg/avcodec.h can be found in the following packages:
  FFmpeg  http://www.ffmpeg.org

I've even added the following to the .spec, as per the INSTALL file (despite the fact that they're the default settings):

	--with-libavcodec-includes=/usr/include \
	--with-libavcodec-libs=/usr/lib \

However, I still got the error so I tried this, recommended on a post on the OpenSuse site:

	--with-ffmpeg-libs-includes=/usr/include \
	--with-ffmpeg-libs-libs=/usr/lib \

Still no joy.

Curses! After spending more time than I should looking at this, it turns out that 'FFMPEG_VERSION' wasn't set in the recent version of libffmpeg0 or something.

Anyway, if anyone else is having similar troubles there's a patch here.

I haven't quite got it working but it looks like it's on the right track.

I'm still trying to get this compile. Sadly, the patch doesn't seem to work.

I've tried the current repository versions of Transcode and FFMpeg but the compile still fails at exactly the same point (i.e., the compile.log shows that confdefs.h failed as 'FFMPEG_VERSION' is undeclared).

Any ideas?

good detective work there PsypherPunk!

i finally got this rascal! been fightin it for days!

okay, get latest ffmpeg from svn:
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg

compile it like you want . then when compiled, grep in version.sh for FFMPEG_VERSION. mine showed:

#define FFMPEG_VERSION "SVN-r6795"

then hold that in a safe place.

then get transcode from

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.exit1.org:/cvstc co -r HEAD transcode

(or, in my case, i needed transcode-1.0.2.tar.gz, so i got it from http://virtual5.forcenetworks.com/tr...e-1.0.2.tar.gz)

change into the base directory and do

autoreconf -i -f

like the INSTALL says and then edit the configure file and search for

# Predefined preprocessor variables.

then add right below

cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF
#define FFMPEG_VERSION "SVN-r6795"
_ACEOF

or whatever your version number is you saved from version.sh earlier.

then configure this puppy ever how you want, and there you be.

i don't know if it's a transcode or ffmpeg problem. don't have the time to look right now, but the hack worked and transcode-1.0.2 is now installed :)
