vlc 0.8.5 configure error

Postby malimravbg » 09 Oct 2006 13:05

Hi tried to compile vlc with latest svn of ffmpeg

but always get config error :

configure: error: /home/sdrpa/downloads/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.a was not compiled with postprocessing support, make sure you configured ffmpeg with --enable-pp

I am sure i compiled ffmpeg with --enable-pp

also i read about : fmpeg recently converted to svn and moved the libpostproc around a bit:

Code: Select all

http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-June/011603.html
This seems to have broken the vlc configure:

Code: Select all

checking for libavcodec.a in ../ffmpeg... no configure: error: /usr/local/svn/vlc-1.0svn/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.a was not compiled with postprocessing support, make sure you configured ffmpeg with --enable-pp
but it seems it doesnt work again, any experience ?

Thanks you.

vlc 0.8.5 configure error

Postby mikekehrli » 16 Oct 2006 23:19

Did you ever resolve this issue?

i compiled with:
./configure --with-ffmpeg-tree=/usr/src/ffmpeg

I get:
configure: error: /usr/src/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.a was not compiled with postprocessing support, make sure you configured ffmpeg with --enable-pp

however, "./ffmpeg -version" gives:
root@linux:/usr/src/ffmpeg# ffmpeg -version
FFmpeg version SVN-r6315, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
configuration: --enable-pp --enable-gpl
libavutil version: 49.0.0
libavcodec version: 51.14.0
libavformat version: 50.5.0
built on Oct 16 2006 13:58:23, gcc: 4.1.2 20061007 (prerelease)
ffmpeg SVN-r6315
libavutil 3211264
libavcodec 3345920
libavformat 3278080

so i don't know why i'm getting the configure error.

Is this the same as your problem, and did you resolve it?
if so, how did you do it?

Thanks, Mike

I am having the same problem. I downloaded the ffmpeg trunk and configured and made using --enable-pp and --enable-gpl. Everything goes smoothly. When I try to configure vlc 0.8.5 it tells me that libavcodec was not configured with postprocessing support.

Could anyone help me with this. I need to get vlc working.

Thanks

you should try with VLC 0.8.6-test1, or with an old version of ffmpeg (one that would match vlc0.8.5).

Could you please tell me how to get an older version of ffmpeg? I can only get the one on the vlc website which gives me an error trying to install it "cannot find XopenDisplay" something or the current trunk.

Thanks

OK, I got through that one by removing ffmpeg and unpacking in /usr/src. I did ./configure --enable-pp --enable gpl and make, but did not install. Now I have a new error when configuring vlc:
configure: error: Cannot find development headers for libfaad...
so..... any ideas?
